Cross Creative provides a series of 7 monthly sessions led by industry experts, combined with 2 field trips, one to Toronto and one to Silicon Valley to meet some of the world’s top creative and technology innovators.

The sessions last 1 day per month and are held at TRC media’s city centre offices in Glasgow offering a great opportunity to learn together and from each other and to form a delegate support network that endures way beyond the nine month programme itself.

TRC media's partners in Cross Creative are Creative Scotland, Channel 4 and Scottish Enterprise.
