SESSION 1 | PARALLEL UNIVERSE: STORYTELLING IN DIVERSE SECTORSThere is a growing realization that the performing arts can learn from approaches in other industries in addressing a myriad of issues. Indeed, where can we draw inspiration? Who are the disruptors engaging peoples’ (read audiences) attention? The intersection between the arts and other businesses may be smaller than we think.

- 5:00pm SESSION 2 | THE (META) PHYSICAL SPACEAs many of us work to reimagine our pre-existing facilities, some are dreaming of a new purpose built facility. How do we think about the future of cultural spaces? Audience tastes and demographics are shifting rapidly, technology is, as ever, changing and artists are increasingly looking to new models of presentation and engagement. Join us as we plan for tomorrow today. Speakers & Moderator*

SESSION 3 | THE URGENCY OF NOW: ACCESS, EQUITY, AND INCLUSIONThe time for talk is past. The time for action is now. What can we as leaders do to affect positive change in our organizations, our communities, and our lives? While there have been many affirmative steps, how do we change a global culture of inequity? Each of us has a role to play in determining a shared future justice. Speakers & Moderator*3:45pm

- 5:15pm SESSION 4 | CURATION, ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, AND REPRESENTATIONFreedom of expression is one of our most sought after rights. This is perhaps the most accentuated when it comes to the artists’ voice. And yet, time and again, we have borne witness to the suppression of this right – be it through funders, presenters, and indeed, audiences. Join us in this curated discussion that will share the artists’ perspective on where this debate is leading. Speakers & Host*Various Venues

SESSION 6 | CREATING SPACE: THOUGHT LEADERSHIPOften we become mired in the day to day responsibilities of our positions and do not make the time to think about moving ourselves and our communities forward. The arts can entertain, inspire, and bring about change. How will you steer your organization and community towards the future you envision? In this closing long table discussion we’ll explore your next great ideas. Speakers & Host*
