Future Talks: Dangerous Ideas to shape the Creative Economy

Future talks: Dangerous ideas to shape the creative industries

30th September 2025 | 18:00 - 20:00

Here East, the innovation and technology campus located in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, invites you to join an evening exploring bold ideas that could redefine the future of the UK’s creative economy.

The creative industries are at a critical inflection point – shaped by the rise of AI, shifts in education, and the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly changing technological landscape. To remain a global leader, the UK must embrace fresh thinking, new models, and sometimes even dangerous ideas.

Taking place at Plexal on Tuesday 30th September from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, this Future Talks event will feature:

  • Welcome and insights from Gavin Poole, CEO of Here East
  • Panel discussion bringing together influential creative thinkers to debate the most impactful ideas shaping the industry’s future
  • Networking drinks

This is an opportunity to connect with industry leaders, hear from those at the forefront of creativity and innovation, and contribute to the conversation on how London can continue to supercharge its position as a global creative capital.
