Futures Forum, Warlde Room, Perth Concert Hall, 5 St Georges Terrace, Perth

The environment in which we operate is constantly changing and it is essential that arts and culture organisations are pro-active and strategic when planning for the future.

In the Chamber’s second Professional Development offering for 2016, internationally renowned futurists Sohail Inayatullah and Anita Sykes-Kelleher have developed a one day event specifically for leaders and managers working in the WA arts and cultural sector.

At the Futures Forum you will learn how to re-imagine the future, challenge current assumptions, analyse past and future trends to identify new opportunities, learn from the future to creatively develop a number of possibilities and use the future to shape vision and actionable strategies.

This event is highly participative and uses various forms of creative engagement to develop strategic agility in a constantly changing operating environment.

By the end of the workshop you will understand Futures Thinking – using trends, emerging issues, scenarios and strategy to explore new possibilities for your practice, your business, and the arts, culture and creative industries ecology.
