Events

Creative Calderdale events run on a quarterly basis and aim to bring leading speakers from the creative and digital sectors such as Nik Powell, Trevor Beattie and Patrick Burgoyne to Calderdale to educate and inspire our audiences.

Our events also offer the opportunity for our members to exhibit and pitch. These pitches are a three minute opportunity for an individual to stand up in front of our audience and sell an idea, opportunity or business and add to the unique, lively atmosphere of Creative Calderdale events. The aim of our member pitches and exhibits is to foster a proactive environment from which business leads can be generated and acted upon.

Attracting over 170 delegates on average to each event, from across Calderdale, West Yorkshire and the Northwest, Creative Calderdale events are an excellent opportunity to position your brand in front some of the North’s leading creative and digital talent.
