Rooftop Dome and River Cruise

Join us for an intimate gathering of studio and creative ops professionals from across Northern England that will leave you feeling inspired, connected, and buzzing from a day of fun. We're offering a highly-curated agenda filled with networking, learning, and a fun outing to close out the day.

We'll start the day at the ABC Building's Rooftop Dome with some snacks and getting to know each other. We'll then be inspired by a session with Nathan McDowell, aka NattyMac, as he discusses how AI can unlock human creativity with some practical examples within his own work. He will then be joined on stage by Juliana Vail for a fireside chat in which they'll further explore AI's current uses, applications, and future potential, followed by an engaging audience Q&A.

You'll then have a chance to talk shop with industry peers about AI and beyond in small group discussions.

We'll cap off the day with a private cruise aboard one of Manchester's River Cruise boats. During the cruise, you'll have the chance to spend more time with new friends, enjoy dinner and drinks, and showcase your singing abilities with our hired DJ and karaoke. You won't want to miss it!

Questions?

Who can attend?

This event is open to creative production professionals from across the UK but primarily focused on Northern England. Not only that but because this event is local and just a half-day, we know it's easier for (and strongly encourage) teams to attend together.

Is the event free? 

Yes! Both the content and networking portion of the event at The ABC Building and the river cruise are free. That said, space is limited so request a seat as soon as you can.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We will have an assortment of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available. If you have other specific requirements or allergies, please email Sean O'Meara at sean@creativforce.io so we can do our best to accommodate you.

More questions? Large group registrations?

If you have additional questions or would like to register more than 4 additional team members, please email Sean O'Meara at sean@creativforce.io.
