Game Republic’s Jamie Sefton will be joining a panel focused on digital synergies across games, film and TV at Bloom 25 in Liverpool in March. The pan-northern, one-day future-focused event is for leaders, doers and strategists in creative and digital businesses and takes place on 6th March at Camp and Furnace, 67 Greenland Street, L1 OBY

MD of Game Republic Jamie Sefton said “The theme of  Bloom 2025 is collaboration, and in games and across creative industries, this is a key way to build strength in The North. I look forward to this Liverpool event and to sharing perspectives and examples of what the games industry in The North is doing to make the most of opportunities ahead and how we have worked in Game Republic for over 20 years to connect our businesses with each other and with wider global opportunities and initiatives.”

In May in 2024, 20 speakers joined 15 support organisations and 30 exhibitors for the inaugural Bloom festival. It was a day of advice, ensuring our businesses are fit for the future with tips, advice and insights from entrepreneurs and experts keen to share their stories. There were panel discussions, talks and one-to-one advice sessions; there was great food, live music, new conversations and a chance to grow networks. It was a day to connect, learn, and grow. Bloom 2025 will build on this success.
