ARTS PEOPLE WE NEED TO TALK !! It’s time to gather, talk, share, plan and work together on the way forward now we can enter a space together. Don’t miss the creativity that comes with the whole sector in one place, producers, artists, presenters, service organisations and government on the same page in the same space.
- Do we need the planet to be healthy? Dr Christina Davies will explain the latest research that proves the direct link between health and arts participation, and maybe finally prove we are more than what happens on a stage.
- How should we speak to government? Live (From Melbourne) – Australia’s most famous marketer known for her work in government, Dee Madigan will tell us the secrets and maybe show us a few election winning tricks.
- Pitches, pitches and more – this has been our best year yet for pitches. It was so hard to choose the final 37 but prepare to be blown away by the quality and variety we have for you this year include the NEW PITCH FORMAT for Get Togethers. These Get Togethers will now mean small groups get to meet one-on-one with producers for closer exchange and connection.
