Made in the West Creative is hosting its next free online networking event on Thursday 25 September, 7–8.30pm, bringing together filmmakers, writers, producers, and creatives from across Western Sydney. Designed with accessibility in mind, this digital format allows participants from across Western Sydney—from Campbelltown to Cabramatta and Blue Mountains to Bankstown—to connect without travel barriers, expanding opportunities for collaboration and professional growth.
Our model combines industry insights with structured breakout sessions, ensuring attendees leave not just with new knowledge but also genuine connections that can spark future projects. Previous sessions have already led to partnerships, collaborations, and employment opportunities in the local screen sector.
Digital networking is no longer just a nice-to-have, it’s a strategic tool for building creative communities and developing long lasting impact. For regional artists, it breaks down barriers of geography, transport and time, while still maintaining the professionalism and focus of in-person events.
At Made in the West Creative, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-impact cultural programming, from livestreams and hybrid events to professional development workshops. Our online networking model addresses the very real need for Western Sydney creatives to connect regularly, share industry knowledge, and find collaborators—all without leaving their creative spaces.
This month’s session features a line-up of Western Sydney creatives who are making waves locally and abroad. Expect to hear about:
Each speaker will share practical experiences and advice, offering both inspiration and takeaways you can apply to your own creative journey.
The event isn’t just about listening to what’s happening in the local scene—it’s about connecting with future collaborators. After the industry presentations, participants join fast-paced rotating breakout rooms designed for meaningful introductions, project discussions, and collaboration opportunities. This structure has been proven to spark ongoing relationships, with follow-up support from our team to ensure connections don’t end when the Zoom call does.
At Made in the West Creative, we specialise in designing cultural programs that build communities, strengthen creative industries, and deliver measurable outcomes. Whether through networking events, hybrid festivals, or tailored development programs, we bring strategy and heart to every project we deliver.
