Expression of Interest

After a successful inaugural festival in 2024, Basildon Council and the Creative Tech Partnership invite expressions of interest for the festival in 2025.

Working closely with multiple local public, private, education and VCS partners, the festival's aim is to inspire and excite young people about the opportunities and possibilities of Creative Tech careers.

Running in February 2025 and incorporating both National Apprenticeship Week and half term, the Creative Tech Festival is a great opportunity to showcase the breadth of roles, companies and progression opportunities available in Basildon.

If you would like to be involved in supporting the festival by hosting or delivering an event, giving a tour or talk of your business, or even just flying the flag for Creative Tech careers, please complete the form below and tell us your ideas.

Completing this form does not commit you to running something and your ideas or thoughts don't need to be fully formed. We simply want to know how you'd like to be involved.

If you require any assistance in completing this form or would like further information, please feel free to contact:
