Adelaide is a creative city and South Australia is a creative State. We often talk about the right business environment to support creative industries but does Adelaide and South Australia have the right urban environments to ensure the sector grows and thrives?

Is there an ideal creative industries urban environment and what does it look like? Are there places or conditions that are more conducive to creative industries than others? South Australia already has the Tonsley Innovation Precinct and Lot 14 but should we also curate a dedicated creative industries neighbourhood or precinct? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a dedicated neighbourhood or precinct and how could South Australia make it happen and where?

The UFX has assembled a panel of industry experts to take us on a journey and explore these questions further.
