The Beautiful Futures Summit

Friday 20 October 2023, 9.30am - 5.30pm

Birmingham Hippodrome

Day Two of the Beautiful Futures Festival is a rallying point for the sector. The annual summit unites MTAM pledge organisations and those who are interested in assessing progress over the past year. Derived from the insights of Radical Listening Week, which elevated underrepresented voices, we will move beyond discourse to actionable plans.

The day's agenda will focus on exploring the data from the MTAM pledge from progress to learnings, we will explore the impact of the legacy of colonialism, social and climate justice, new ways of gathering resources, re-imagining a future that enables us all to thrive.

This session is for collaborative problem-solving. What are the pragmatic tools and strategies that will redefine our futureor the better? How can we cultivate an industry landscape that is not merely inclusive but also innovative and transformative?

We invite you to bring your expertise, insights, and readiness for action. The objective is clear: to co-create a roadmap for a culture sector that is forward-thinking, inclusive, and leaves no one behind. 

It’s a day for examining our journey, holding ourselves accountable, and dreaming and planning the future.
