THE BRUILT CREATIVE FUTURES FORUM
Empowering the Next Generation of Creative Entrepreneurs
We have always maintained that young people don’t lack ambition, they lack clarity. They are creative, capable & curious beings, but often unsure how their talents translate into real careers. The BRUILT Creative Futures Forum bridges that gap.
What Is The BRUILT Creative Futures Forum?
The BRUILT Creative Futures Forum is an interactive keynote and panel experience designed to:
• Inspire creative confidence
• Demystify entrepreneurship
• Expand career awareness beyond traditional pathways
• Equip students with practical tools to turn ideas into action
We deliver a live, engaging, high-energy session that combines:
Keynote delivery
Young entrepreneur panel discussions or podcast-style interview
The BRUILT Ideation Sprint™
Live Q&A
Roundtable engagement with students
Students will be provided with tools but also a real-life example from a plethora of working professionals.
With live Q&As, students have real examples, hearing real stories & gaining real strategies from those who are successful in an area they may be curious about.
From DJ’s, authors, film directors, camera assistants, magazine owners, stylists, casting directors, animators, colour graders, art & prop masters, radio hosts, music video commissioners & more.
WHY THIS FORUM IS RELEVANT NOW?
WE ARE LIVING IN CHANGING TIMES
The world of work is changing.
Creative industries, digital platforms and entrepreneurial pathways are no longer just “alternative” routes. They are viable, thriving career ecosystems.
Students need:
• Real examples
• Real stories
• Real strategies
They need to see people who look like them and sound like them building meaningful careers.
THE BRUILT Ideation Sprint™
Students are guided through a structured rapid-thinking framework designed to help them:
• Identify problems worth solving
• Develop creative concepts
• Think commercially
• Move from idea to clarity
The Sprint energises rooms. It transforms passive listeners into active thinkers. Teachers consistently describe it as one of the most practical and engaging parts of the programme.
LIVE CREATIVE PANEL
Each forum includes 2–3 young creatives or entrepreneurs who share:
• How they started
• What challenges they faced
• How they navigated doubt
• Alternative creative career routes
• What they would tell their younger selves
This creates relatability, possibility and momentum.
ROUNDTABLE CONVERSATIONS
Following the panel, students are invited into small-group roundtable discussions.
These sessions often extend organically beyond the scheduled time, as students seek deeper insight into:
• Gap years
• Audition preparation (including The BRIT School pathway)
• Discovering talents and gifts
• Balancing ambition with academic advice
• Creative industry roles beyond performance
When students choose to stay and continue the conversation, it signals something powerful: They feel seen.
OUTCOMES FOR SCHOOLS
• Increased student engagement
• Broadened career awareness
• Encouragement of entrepreneurial thinking
• Practical tools for idea development
• Positive representation within creative industries
• A memorable, high-impact enrichment experience
AVAILABLE FORMATS
• 60–90 minute keynote + panel
