[ecrea] Creative Industries Workshop - 9th May 2007

>Apologies for cross-posting CREATIVE INDUSTRIES WORKSHOP 2007 
>'Valuing Intelligence' - 9th May The London College of Communication 
>is hosting the inaugural Creative Industries Workshop, Valuing 
>Intelligence. The Creative Industries sector is an integral part of 
>the new knowledge economy and in this workshop we are looking to 
>develop new ideals and impetus for the businesses, infrastructure 
>and governance of the Creative Industries. Specifically, the 
>workshop will take a critical look at how intelligence in the 
>creative industries is collected and used. The DCMS in 1998 defined 
>13 subsectors within the Creative Industries, but today, with the 
>continual drive of digitisation, 'crowdsourcing' and the ease in 
>which individualistic creativity can be showcased, there is a need 
>to have another look at these definitional boundaries, and how the 
>empirics can be gathered to match the academic and political 
>theorisations of the creative industries. This workshop will provide 
>you with the opportunity to discuss these issues in an informal yet 
>stimulating environment, with like-minded scholars and leading 
>industry professionals; and also the option of submitting a formal 
>presentation or paper in the linked Creative Industries conference 
>in October, as well as the forthcoming Creative Industries Journal, 
>due to published in 2008. Where: London College of Communication, 
>Elephant & Castle,
>London, SE1 6SB When: May 9th 2007, 0930 - 1700 Confirmed speakers: 
>Simon Roodhouse - Creative Industries Observatory Kate Oakley -
