Some time ago I submitted a proposal that Jane Turner and I put together for the Creative Places + Spaces conference [3] 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 [4], 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 [5] environment which we have developed for my KKB018 Creative Industries [6] unit (see Creative Places + Spaces [7]), 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 [8] as part of the conference's 'Creativity Marketplace' - essentially a kind of international trade fair for innovative creative industries projects and approaches.
