Why we do it?
The actors in Bulgaria’s gaming, animation and creator communities work mostly in parallel and seldom in cooperation. With Hive Creative Buzz we work towards creating a platform where we meet, exchange, get inspired, create opportunities and dive into new, even more daring projects!
We extend an open invitation to established professionals, enthusiastic newcomers and aspiring students.

Stani, Chase A Cloud
Hristo, Tuk-Tam
The topics we prioritise in the inaugural edition of Hive Creative buzz are animation, video games and creator economy.
We believe adjacent sectors such as digital art and entertainment, video & film, photography and music could also benefit greatly by attending.
If you are a Bulgarian in this field we dare say - it’s a must-attend event for you.
If you are a guest to Bulgaria keen on meeting the doers in the field - Hive Creative Buzz is your one-stop-shop event. Also - hit us up, so we make sure you get the most out of your attendance!
