The Creator's Bedroom

In the fast moving world of technology, it's easy to feel a little lost.

So why don’t you come on in to The Creator's Bedroom and take a look around? We’ll be there to guide you through the world of the young creator at home and help you explore the role of emerging technologies in their lives and in yours.

As well as giving you the chance to get some hands on experience, we’ll be hearing from key speakers on how to incorporate technology into your environment.

See details of the Creator's Bedroom schedule below.
