At the bottom of the picture, we see two men and a woman are sitting on the chairs. In front of them, we see a man in the black blazer is standing and he is talking on the microphone. Beside him, we see a flower pot or a flower bouquet. Beside that, we see a table on which a book, water bottle and some other objects are placed. Behind him, we see a podium on which the microphones are placed. In the background, we see a brown wall and a board in white, blue and red color with some text written on it.

Labour Party Conference 2025: Starmer, Nandy Unveil £200m Creative Industries Package

Labour Party Conference 2025 saw a significant focus on the creative industries. Keir Starmer, in his leader's speech, highlighted the UK's boundless creativity. Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for DCMS, announced several initiatives, including a £132m youth package and a new UK Town of Culture competition. Over 20,000 attendees, including Emily Hopkins, discussed the impact of AI on creativity and intellectual property concerns in the party city.

The conference explored AI's role in the creative sector, with concerns raised about intellectual property and AI-generated works. Dr. Mark Taylor, from Creative PEC, shared insights at a fringe event.

Emily Hopkins, Policy Adviser at Creative PEC, visited various pavilions and events, including the Creative UK Pavilion and those hosted by the AHRC-funded CoSTAR Network and the BBC team. She attended the conference in September 2025, following Prime Minister Keir Starmer's speech on supporting regional areas and creative opportunities for young people in the party city.

Lisa Nandy revealed a £132m youth package via the Dormant Assets scheme for sports, arts, and music activities. She also announced an £8m grant for over 100 creative SMEs across 12 UK regions and a £150m fund for the Creative Places Growth Fund, with £25m each for six priority regions in England.
