Cultivate

The annual conference is now an established date in the Arts Marketing Association (AMA) calendar of events. 500+ arts professionals attend the conference each year to learn from keynote speakers and trainers from the arts and commercial sectors and to debate and discuss, and to share ideas and best practice.

In 2009 a range of experienced speakers from in- and out-side the arts will explore how arts organisations can combine artistic excellence and public engagement techniques to captivate, inspire and engage audiences, visitors and participants with the arts.

Keynote speakers include:
Diane Ragsdale
Andy Ryans, Marketing Director - Hallé
Dave Moutrey, Director and Chief Executive - Cornerhouse
Sarah Perks, Programme and Engagement Director - Cornerhouse
Dan Germain, Head of Creative - Innocent Drinks
Ed Sanders, Product Marketing Manager - YouTube/Google
Dick Penny, Director, Watershed Media Centre
