We celebrate difference – respecting the humanity and creativity in everyone. We are committed to improving diversity and inclusion across our organisation and industry by championing a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, identities, talents and physical and cognitive differences.  

The Big Creative UK Summit: Investment for Growth aims to provide an accessible experience for our speakers, performers, and guests. We try to make sure that there aren’t any barriers that make it difficult or impossible for anyone to engage.  

We recognise there are many and varied requirements and if there is something we have missed, please bring this to our attention by emailing events@wearecreative.uk 

Great question! We'd love to hear from you. To get involved as a speaker, performer or partner please email events@wearecreative.uk

Please stay tuned for updates, including the full programme, over the coming months.

Creative UK has recently partnered with tech start-up Zerofy, a UK-based sustainability and decarbonisation software platform. Zerofy will support our organisation’s mission to realise our Planet pledge, placing sustainability measures at the core of our business and creative operations.

Below are some ways you can help to make your participation in the Summit more sustainable.

Domestic Travel

• Coaches are the greenest way to travel.
• Megabus and National Express coach services arrive/depart from London Victoria.

• Record your train journey on the Trainline pledge website - every journey recorded will result in a tree planted.

International Travel

• Skip airport queues and reduce your carbon footprint.

• Flying economy class emits over 60% less emissions than business class.

• When all other possibilities for carbon reduction have been explored, look to off-set your remaining carbon emissions.
• Although some airlines offer you the choice to opt in to carbon off-set online, we recommend avoiding these.
• Choose a non-profit such as Atmosfair which can calculate a carbon estimate of your route.

• Hold an internationally recognised certification (VCS, Gold Standard).
• Do more than switch one fossil fuel for another.
• Be monitored to ensure carbon reductions are achieved.
• Cause no harm to local communities.
