The Most Incredible Day of the Year!
The 23rd Annual Creation Station Conference took place in Birmingham at the fantastic Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), and what a day it was!
Sarah Cressall OBE, our inspiring founder and CEO, opened the event with a heartfelt celebration of everyone’s amazing achievements. A huge thank you goes out to our brilliant business partners, dedicated Business Development Managers, the Franchisee Advisory Council, and every single person who helps drive our vision forward. Together, we’re continuing to spark imaginations and make a creative impact across the country.
This year, we were honoured to welcome three amazing keynote speakers who brought a wealth of insight and inspiration:
Nicola Derwin from Morton Michel delivered a fantastic talk on everything Morton Michel offers with its insurance policies, highlighting the invaluable support they provide to our creative community.
Laura May Watkins shared brilliant tips and creative ideas on how to make people feel truly special—something at the heart of everything we do.
Hannah Wing inspired us with powerful strategies on how to grow, evolve, and become even greater than we already are.
What a way to celebrate, learn, and connect!
