Creative Britain’ contains 26 commitments designed to put culture and creativity at the centre of our national life and bring the creative industries into the mainstream of the UK economy.

The first main c&binet event took place on 26-28 October 2009 at The Grove in Hertfordshire and is currently watchable online. The conference brings together learning creative industry government officials and industry executives to discuss 'World Creative Business' and the emerging creative economy.
