The future of Be Creative
Our little Be Creative meet-ups started nearly a year ago now as a simple and informal way of getting to know like minded digital workers in the local area. At first this was a small experiment to better understand how many people lived and worked in the area who were interested in the tech/creative sector. Since we started, our small community has continued to grow and we’ve had some lovely evenings getting to know new people who we never would have met otherwise.
Myself and Connor are now starting a new adventure and moving to Southampton. Unfortunately this means that we are no longer suitably placed to push the Be Creative events forward. It’s a great shame for us and we’ve really enjoyed getting to know you all. We’ll be back in Taunton from time-to-time so we’ll both hopefully attend some future events but we will no longer be managing anymore.
Be Creative will be merged with Digital Taunton
Some of you may be aware that Shane and Ben are actively engaging in a new initiative called Digital Taunton — this is a joint effort between many businesses and individuals who are passionate about improving the digital economy & culture for people based in Taunton and the surrounding areas. More information on what this looks like will be published soon. The Be Creative meet-ups will be re-branded to Digital Taunton and will allow the event to further develop.
Next Weeks Event
The next event (Thursday 31st August) will be cancelled and details for future Digital Taunton meet-ups will be communicated shortly. There will be a new format and new location so keep your eyes peeled for that. We will soon be closing down the Be Creative twitter account so make sure you’re signed up to our mailing list and follow the new Digital Taunton twitter account.
Join Digital Taunton on Slack
There is a new Slack community which has been created for digital workers in the area. This is an exciting new space where we hope people will be able to chat, share knowledge and collaborate. Check it out below!

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has come along and supported Be Creative over the last year. We’ve had great fun and look forward to seeing the event continue to evolve and grow as Digital Taunton.

Tash & Connor
