Discover the exciting Creative, Media, Sports Economy and Tech opportunities that await your business in North America.

To coincide with Birmingham Tech Week and the US Creative Roadshow, the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) invites you to join us to explore high impact Creative, Media, Sports Economy and Tech opportunities in North America.

Alongside local and National based DBT representatives, you will hear from our US-based team (in-person) and Create Central an industry body whose members comprise some of the UK's most creative thinkers and change makers in film, TV, games and other creative content sectors.

What to expect…

We will kick things off with a networking lunch and then jump into a welcome plenary session designed to set the scene and support you to make the most of the day.

During this plenary, there will be a series of short presentations providing you with an overview of trade opportunities, the support your business could access and suggested next steps.
