[Commlist] Future content creators: Supporting screen industries and sustainable platform work - symposium

We are pleased to invite you to our forthcoming hybrid symposium at the 
University of Huddersfield *"Future Content Creators: Creating a 
Sustainable Future for Social Media Content Creation in the UK"* on 
Thursday 12^th January 2023.

How can content creators, social platform companies, legacy television 
broadcasters, regulators, and other industry organisations work together 
to build a sustainable future for social media content creation in the 
UK? Content creation for social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, 
Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook is a crucial part of the creative 
economy. Yet despite the low barriers to entry, creators still struggle 
to break into the sector, while broadcasters constantly try to keep up 
with new technological trends and revenue streams.

Speakers from screen industry and digital platform companies like ITV, 
Channel 4, Screen Yorkshire, YouTube, Black Creators Matter, and more 
will come together with content creators and current academics in the 
field for a series of panels exploring business models, production 
challenges, monetisation, skills, training, career pathways, and working 
conditions. Together we will ask what new skills and training are needed 
to facilitate career progression in content creation? How can industry 
stakeholders benefit from the creative potential of creators and ensure 
diversity and inclusivity in their industries?

This is an opportunity to share business strategies, network with other 
industry stakeholders and creators, and build a vibrant community of 
creators in the UK's diverse regions.
