Creative Cities Convention
The Creative Cities Convention was co-founded by our director Ruth Pitt and Pact CEO John McVay and is jointly funded by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Paramount and Pact. It’s the leading meeting place for UK content creators working outside London, attracting hundreds of delegates from across the country and helping to create lasting impact for the different cities it visits each year – thus far Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow (online during the pandemic), Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol and Bradford.
