Monday 31 October 2022 | Patrick Centre, Birmingham Hippodrome

1pm to 5pm – Summit

6pm to 8pm – The Commons

We are in a season of transformation and innovation, the future has never been closer than right now, and we are presented with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to leave a legacy of inclusion, stewardship, sustainability and collaboration.

This year’s summit marks two years on since the launch of the More than a Moment Pledge, and we are taking a moment to look ahead and explore systems change at every level. We have radically redesigned what it means to hold a summit, and we have chosen to make space for transparency, curiosity, accountability and creativity.

We are centring the voices and experiences of the Black Creative Workforce, creative changemakers and learning from organisations that have embraced the MTAM pledge over the last 12 months.

Together, we will unpick the interwoven challenges of our past and present, and collectively re-imagine and build the future.

We are calling on individuals and organisations to come together and build the new creative commons.

This event will be in two parts:

1pm to 5pm - Summit

Pauline Bailey

Tonia Daley-Campbell
