This half-day event will bring together indie game developers working in different regions with researchers interested in culturally sustainable creative economy growth.  It is the first stage of a project exploring the connections between place, culture and context in the recent expansion of indie games development.  The Bristol Games Hub is one of several co-operative ventures emerging as part of this expansion.  The aim is to start some conversations between makers, researchers and other parties interested and invested in the potentials of creative economy growth for culture and creativity as well as for the bottom line.
