    Climate change is no longer a topic for debate or some distant threat. Its manifestations are now affecting us in our daily lives.

    This situation challenges those of us who are part of the performing arts sector. It has a major impact on festivals and outdoor events planning. It can deter or completely prevent patrons from attending. It also forces us to reimagine creation, production and touring activities with a carbon footprint mindset.

    The local and the global have taken on a whole new dimension. Are we ready to depart from established and learned formats? To take new kinds of risks? And to develop innovative strategies that allow us to care equally for the environment and for artistic creation and production?

    Despite its remarkable progress, AI still struggles to make sense of the performing arts. But if we tell AI exactly what kind of information is on a webpage, it is more likely to find, share and recommend that information to artsgoers.

    In this session, you will learn how to use Entity SEO and other discoverability tools to demystify your event pages for the latest Web technologies. By putting a few key recommendations into practice, you can harness the power of these technologies to reach new audiences!

    This session will be particularly helpful for presenters, producers and anyone who publishes events on their own website.

    A new generation has come of age. Many Gen-Z young adults can now vote, work, and buy tickets to see a show or attend a festival. But are they? Do the performing arts serve Gen Z? What do we know about this generation’s current and latent engagement with arts and culture?

    This is your chance to get the vibe of what Gen Z is all about. Periodt! In this session, a panel of Gen-Zers will give their POV on the performing arts. Generation Z will spill the tea in a facilitated group discussion prefaced with a few findings from the Arts Response Tracking Survey.

    It’s time to become more relatable.
