You are cordially invited to an evening reception being hosted by Birmingham Ormiston Academy (BOA), a new digital and performing arts academy being launched in October this year.

The first of its kind in the UK, BOA will be transforming the way digital media talent is nurtured. Working with industry to develop the curriculum, the context, and tools, we believe the pupils will be able to build on the UK's digital creative strengths.

The highlight of the evening will be a panel debate with some high-profile industry figures including; Chris Deering, former President of Sony Entertainment Europe, Kim Blake, Education Liason Manager of Blitz Games, Leigh Thomas, CEO of First Light and Mike Nutley, former Editor and Chief of New Media Age.
