The Official Global Launch of the Commonwealth Creative Industries Alliance (CCIA)

Commonwealth Creative Industries Alliance (CCIA)
Official Global Launch
Marlborough House, London | Tuesday 8 September 2026
The Commonwealth does not have a talent gap. It has a coordination gap.
Join government representatives, industry leaders, investors, creators and Commonwealth institutions for the Official Global Launch of the Commonwealth Creative Industries Alliance (CCIA), a new initiative dedicated to unlocking the full potential of the Commonwealth's creative economy.
Building on the success of the inaugural gathering held at Marlborough House earlier this year, this landmark event will bring together decision-makers from across the Commonwealth ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2026) in Antigua and Barbuda.
Together, we will explore practical opportunities for collaboration and action across investment, policy, intellectual property, artificial intelligence, creator rights, trade and international partnerships, while helping shape a shared vision for the future of the creative industries across the Commonwealth.
The programme will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, industry showcases and networking opportunities, bringing together leaders from government, media, technology, finance, culture and the creative sectors.
Linked HERE is a brief overview of the event, including the proposed programme, key discussion themes and the wider vision for the Alliance as we move from dialogue to delivery and work to unlock the full potential of the Commonwealth's creative economy.
With 56 member states, 2.5 billion citizens and a creative economy valued at over $2 trillion, the Commonwealth represents one of the world's greatest opportunities for cultural and economic collaboration.
Who should attend?
Government representatives, investors, creators, rights holders, media organisations, technology companies, cultural institutions, policymakers and industry leaders interested in shaping the future of the Commonwealth creative economy.
By invitation only.
