SEEN: YOUR GATEWAY TO THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY – AND TO COMMUNITY ROUTES 2026

Taking place on Thursday 25th June - just days before the Community Routes 2026 deadline of 29th June -  SEEN: Industry Day gives Birmingham and West Midlands-based creatives the rare chance to connect directly with the industry decision-makers, producers, and mentors behind the acclaimed Community Routes programme – now entering its third year.

Whether you’re an emerging artist trying to find your footing, a future industry leader, or just someone who loves Birmingham's creative scene and wants to support a more inclusive community, this space is for you.

“SEEN is about visibility and access – showing the region’s emerging creatives what’s possible when they are not only seen, but heard, championed and supported,” said Bradley Morrison, Head of Marketing & Communications at Punch Records . “This is a genuine chance to speak to the people who can open doors, shape careers and help you fast-track your journey through Community Routes and beyond.”
