Creativity Marketplace

Some time ago I submitted a proposal that Jane Turner and I put together for the Creative Places + Spaces conference in Toronto later this year. The conference is a pretty high-profile event which amongst others includes Charles Landry, author of the key text The Creative City, as a member of its 'brains trust'. Today I received the good news that based on this proposal, which dealt with the fictional Creative Town environment which we have developed for my KKB018 Creative Industries unit (see Creative Places + Spaces), I've been invited to attend the conference - but in a slightly different, and perhaps more significant, role than originally proposed.

What the organisers of the conference now want me to do is to represent the Creative Industries Faculty as part of the conference's 'Creativity Marketplace' - essentially a kind of international trade fair for innovative creative industries projects and approaches.
