Ideas Summit 2019

The Ideas Summit offers a chance for you to plug into east London’s vibrant community of dance professionals; to meet your fellow dance artists, producers and industry peers in the flesh; and to network and make connections with arts organisations across all areas of the sector.

Get advice, tips and inspiration in the key areas of building and sustaining your career and brand, from funding support to tour management, digital innovation, marketing and more.

With our curated talks, you’ll get to find out first-hand what east London’s dance sector leaders have planned over the next 12 months and how you might get involved. And the Ideas Fund pitching session will give you a chance to gain inspiration from innovation taking root at a grassroots level across the area and perhaps even motivation to bring your own ideas to life.

This full day of talks, seminars, networking opportunities and other activities is just £18 for independent artists or producers, £25 for everyone else and we’ll even throw in lunch.

Spaces are limited so book today.
