MEET is a series of relaxed, informal get-togethers for people working in — or curious about — the creative and creative-tech economy.

The Southern Creative Catalyst is thrilled to be partnering with the University of Portsmouth’s Centre for Creative & Immersive Reality (CCIXR) for this MEET.

MEET events are open, informal gatherings with little or no agenda. They create space for conversation, introductions, and relationship-building across creative disciplines.

CCIXR lowers the barrier to entry for businesses who are looking to explore XR or are already active in this field and are looking to access cutting edge facilities and Research.

Join us at CCIXR, University of Portsmouth with a warm, welcoming vibe and the perfect backdrop for genuinely great conversations.

Interested in collaborating with CCIXR? Pitch the top priority for your business that CCIXR could support in one of 10 slots of two-minutes on the CCIXR Virtual Stage (tech support provided) available on a first-come-first served basis. Sign up by emailing Toby Beale at the CCIXR (toby.beale@port.ac.uk).

This evening isn’t about panels or pitches. It’s about people, real conversations, new friendships, unexpected collaborations, and strengthening the creative community we all care about.

Expect good company, relaxed chat, shared stories.

This is part of the wider Southern Creative Catalyst series, which includes MEET events focused on community and connection, and MAKE events showcasing creative technology. Join our mailing list and follow us on LinkedIn.

These events are organised by the Southern Creative Catalyst with support from the Venturefest South, the RSA, Hampshire Prosperity Partnership and Creative Network South.
