Think of all the brands you know and love - What do they have in common? Great quality products? An obsession with learning more about what their customers want? Inspiring marketing communications that cut through the noise and grab your attention? Or all of the above? Successful companies have a joined-up approach to understanding and engaging customers and delivering on their promises.

In the arts and cultural sector we focus huge effort on artistic excellence and creative vision, we are experts at communicating to audiences and visitors on tiny budgets, and we're gathering vast amounts of data on attendance and participation patterns. But do we have the synergy that truly great companies possess – that combination of delivering excellence and public value?

This conference will explore how arts organisations can combine artistic excellence and public engagement techniques to captivate, inspire and engage audiences and visitors with the arts.

conference delegates

Keynote speakers from the arts and commercial sector will combine theory, examples of good practice and new ideas to kick-start our thinking. The programme of breakout sessions will include workshops for those relatively new to arts marketing, and strategic seminars for those in officer and management positions across a range of departments – marketing, audience development, press and PR, programming etc.

For more experienced arts professionals, presentations, discussions and debates pitched at a senior level will enable those working as heads of departments, as CEO's and directors to come together to help the sector identify areas to develop.
