Emerging Futures 2020 Participant
You’ll hear from leaders, trailblazers and creative entrepreneurs who place care at the centre of their work, across a day of inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, workshops and creative activities. We’ll ask what care in leadership means, for yourself and others, and consider the role it can play in cultivating dynamic and resilient leaders.
The day will be highly participatory with plenty of opportunity for the exchange of ideas via panel discussions and Q&A, as well as space for pause and reflection during workshops and making activities. You will come away with inspirational approaches, practical tips and take aways to help you consider the impact care, in its many forms, can play in your own leadership development.
WHO IS IT FOR?
If you’ve been working in the industry in theatre, dance, visual arts, heritage, libraries or any other art form, for at least one year, this is for you – join the conversation.

ABOUT EMERGING FUTURES
Emerging Futures is a conference for early-career change-makers working independently or within organisations in the Arts, Culture & Creative Industries across the UK.
The conference is a chance to hear from leaders, trailblazers and activists, make connections with others and exchange ideas on what leadership is and will be for the Creative sector.
It’s never too early to start thinking about leadership – you don’t need to be managing a team to be a leader and you don’t need to be at the top of a traditional organisational hierarchy.
