The European Culture Forum is a great opportunity to meet and network, debate key trends and developments in the cultural sector, and help set the agenda for future cultural policy and funding at EU level. You are invited to this unique rendez-vous for cultural thought leaders and stakeholders, policy makers and officials, at national and regional levels, from the 4th to the 6th of November in the in the Bozar Art Centre, Brussels.

The programme will include a variety of formats: plenary panels for in-depth discussions, short flash sessions to inform participants of other hot topics, and much more…

There will be three thematic pillars for the plenary sessions:

• Measuring the true value of culture and the functioning of the cultural eco-system;

• Funding culture in the digital era, looking at new funding models based on developing loyalty and building communities of followers, as well as institution centered models, such as corporate sponsorship, co-production and artistic interventions in business or public services;

• Audience development and making cultural participation a reality, looking at holistic, 360° strategies, reaching non-audiences, participatory art, and partnerships and synergies with other sectors.

This edition of the Forum introduces a new format called "Have your say!".
