Creative Hive is an organisation based at the University of Salford whose goal is to provide real world opportunities and connections between people in education and industry. Creative Hive provides a means for creative people of all disciplines and from anywhere to showcase their work and form new collaborations both digitally at www.creativehive.org and in person at physical showcases and events.

We are delighted to have secured the University of Salford’s state of the art living research facility known as ‘The Egg’ at MediaCityUK for Creative Hive Live in May 2012. Creative Hive Live will be a celebration of digital technologies and creative connections, consisting of interactive displays, performances, installations, live events and more. The event will be an opportunity to connect people, create new opportunities and learn from new mixed disciplinary collaborations and stories. There will also be a creative speed networking session using interactive touch tables allowing creative people to display and discuss their work using cutting edge technology.

Creative Hive Live will form the launch event for the University of Salford's School of Media, Music and Performance final year shows, but will draw on the best talent of the University, other Universities and the best creative talent of the North-West of England. Exhibits, stories and live events will focus on new cross disciplinary work, storytelling, innovation and creative connections. We face many global challenges in the modern world and this exhibition explores how we got to this point and examines how we may improve our situation using creative and cross disciplinary collaborations. The event is free of charge, but you must complete the event registration form above to attend.
