This symposium provides an opportunity for cultural leaders to apply their own reality check to the virtual revolution. A line up of guest speakers will invoke a set of specialist perspectives ranging from local social innovation to the eroding delineation between producers and consumers and what that means to a publicly funded arts organisation.
Guest speakers include:
• Jon Spooner, Artistic Director, Unlimited Theatre
• Mike Stubbs, Chief Executive, FACT, Foundation for Art and Creative Technology
• Rachel Baker, Digital Opportunities Programme Manager, Arts Council England, National
and the session will be chaired by:
• Andrew Keen, Commentator and Author of ‘The Cult of the Amateur’.
As a cultural leader, you are invited to take up a role of both participant and expert witness, contributing your insight and inspiration into a conversation designed to explore the synthesis between digital natives and digital immigrants and how digital strategies and channels could be geared towards enriching the relationship between the artist, the arts organisation and the audience - or not.
The CEO Symposium is a full day event and runs in conjunction with our Annual Conference The Magic of Multi-Channel Marketing. In the morning all delegates, including CEOs, will hear from our keynote presenters, and in the afternoon you will have the opportunity to discuss the topic in more detail with your peers at the specific CEO Session On Not Being Born Digital.
