The Visual Media Conference (VMC) 2015 saw 135 delegates, prompting Robert McClements, CEO of organiser CDi Yorkshire, to say: “The conference reinforces the message that the region is serious about the role of the creative and digital sector. We intend to continue to send out that message, nationally and internationally.”
CDi Yorkshire is match funded by the BPIF and works across the creative, digital and printing industry in the region supporting and connecting businesses, promoting and representing the industry. It is growing in confidence, having worked with 39 companies to bring £500,000 grants from the Regional Growth Fund that has leveraged £7-8m investment in the sector.
