Day 3 – Celebrating Digital Culture Online: Now and Next

Thursday 20^th July (Online and in person at the University of Wolverhampton Screen School)

What’s next for digital platforms and the creation and publication of arts and culture content? We’re seeing a boom in innovative production and storytelling capability in arts and cultural organisations and across the arts and culture freelance sector, so where should this content go and how can we ensure audiences find it?  Who should organisations be partnering with and where are the future funding opportunities?

Keynote: Creative Media Futures – Ian Ravenscroft (Creative Director, Hey Green Raven) & Corey Campbell (Artistic Director, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry)
