Due to be completed in 2011, the MediaCityUK site at Salford Quays will be home to five BBC departments and some of the world’s biggest companies in broadcasting and new media. The University of Salford is the first organisation to take space at MediaCityUK after the BBC. The University is creating an innovative new higher education centre focusing on employer-led postgraduate learning and research collaboration.

John Holland, MediaCity director, from the University of Salford will outline the University’s vision for their state-of-the-art facilities. These will include a broadcast zone, digital media zone, virtual laboratory, digital performance space and creative spaces for use in academic teaching, project-based learning and user-centred design and innovation.

Jason Legget, business development manager at Peel Media, will be expanding on how MediaCityUK is developing. Lynne McCadden, managing director, will be explaining the help and support being offered to the digital and creative industries through Northwest Vision and Media.
