Do you aspire to make a difference to arts, culture and society? Are you passionate about building an innovative, connected and inclusive cultural sector?

Clore Leadership presents Emerging Futures 2018: Leadership, Culture & Big Ideas. This new event in partnership with Manchester International Festival, Future Everything and The Space brings together aspiring and emerging cultural leaders, change-makers and creative entrepreneurs with inspiring creative thinkers, makers and doers.

Featuring a dynamic programme of leadership insights and though-provoking debate, with the space to network and exchange ideas, Emerging Futures 2018 tackles the key issues of our time - technology, cultural democracy, wellbeing and leadership.

Bring your questions, challenges and ideas and connect with creative allies from across the country. Emerging Futures is an opportunity to explore how we can develop our leadership amibtions and work together to define the future of cultural leadership - and our place within it.

We believe true innovation happens when diverse perspectives, disciplines and skills collide. Join us for a day of collaboration, empowerment and insights.

Hear from leaders in their field about how to combine innovation with social impact.

Confirmed speakers include Viktoria Modesta (Bionic Artist and Performer), Maria Balshaw (TATE), Nikesh Shukla (The Good Immigrant), Anisa Hagdhadi (The Beatfreeks Collective), Alan Lane (Slung Low), Clare Reddington (Watershed), Javad Alipoor (Theatre Maker and Writer), Hilary Carty (Clore Leadership), John McGrath (Manchester International Festival) and Fiona Morris (The Space).

Hosted by Feimatta Conteh (Future Everything).

Who is it for?

Emerging Futures is for early-career change-makers working independently or within organisations in arts, culture & the creative industries across the UK. The majority of participants will have 2-5 years of work experience under their belt (this can include internships) and we expect most will be under 30.

We ask that those booking for their organisations' staff limit attendees to 2 per organisation so that we can bring together the most diverse group of participants possible.

Access needs?

At Clore Leadership we try our best to ensure our events are as accessible as possible. We invite all participants to let us know their access needs in advance (however small) through the custom questions we ask when you book a ticket. We will do our best to meet them.

Bursaries?

We've tried to keep tickets as affordable as possible through the generous support of the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, but we if it feels out-of-reach we have a range of bursaries available to help cover travel costs, caring responsibilities or ticket price. If you require a bursary, please visit the www.emergingfutures2018.com/tickets page to apply.
