Set in the heart of the West Midlands, it was once a hub for the Industrial Revolution that helped to lay the foundations for one of the most evolutionary periods of British history, filled with steel mills, iron foundries and coal mines. A city filled with people who were highly skilled in specialist trades, working together to further the future of the UK.

200 years later, modern-day Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK, a youthful, energetic and multicultural place with a large base of people that are highly skilled in the new powerhouse creative and tech industries. From The Streets to Black Sabbath, SOSHI Games and Codemaster to Peaky Blinders; Birmingham is the perfect place to mingle with like minded creators.

Digbeth, Birmingham’s creative quarter, is filled with historic industrial buildings; a reminder of the groundbreaking work of past residents. It’s also home to ACC Birmingham and the epicentre of the local creative industries.
