Conference | Governance Now: Imagine it Different

Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU
Wednesday 6 November 2024
Tiered ticketing system, suitable for different circumstances

How can boards find bold, imaginative ways to navigate the sector through uncertain and perilous times?

Governance Now – the flagship conference exploring cultural governance, presented by Clore Leadership on behalf of the Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA) – returns to London this November.  

The sector’s resilience and adaptability is being tested like never before. This year’s conference explores the interventions for change that are needed from cultural organisations and their boards at a time when ‘business as usual’ isn’t enough to see our sector survive and thrive. 

The need for more robust, diverse and effective governance is top of the agenda. So how can boards ‘imagine it different’? And how can they help organisations embrace more imaginative responses to the sector’s ever-growing challenges?

Join fellow cultural leaders in a series of keynotes, roundtables, provocations and breakout sessions to explore topics including:

  • Artificial Intelligence – Friend or Foe? – exploring the ethics of artificial intelligence and what factors cultural boards need to consider for the future (Doug Gurr, Director of the Natural History Museum)
  • Citizens’ Assemblies – learning where decision-making for organisations might extend beyond or away from traditional governance models (David Jubb & Saad Eddine Said of Citizens in Power and Lilli Geisendorfer, Policy Evidence Centre)
  • Closing Well – assessing when and how to make brave decisions, including when to close (Hedda Archbold, former Chair of Kneehigh Theatre)
  • Imagine it Different – reinventing cultural investment in local government (Councillor Liz Green, Chair of Local Government Association’s Culture, Tourism and Sport board, and Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston-Upon-Thames)

With an opening address from Tonya Nelson, Executive Director of Enterprise & Innovation, Arts Council England.
