This follows the Partnerships’ representation to Ministers at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, and active involvement in responding to the Creative Enterprise Green Paper Working Group reports. The Events sector is recognised alongside many other creative sectors such as Advertising, Design, Fashion, Media, TV, Film and other internet technologies.
