About this Event

On Thursday 19 November, Plus Tate's Annual Leadership Forum will take place via Zoom.

Hosted by Alfredo Cramerotti, MOSTYN and Katherine Wood & Ceri Littlehand, Wysing galleries, this full-day event will focus on topics of Climate Change, Digital Programming, and Anti-Racist action within the arts.

Chaired by Amanda Parker (Inc Arts), there will be plenty of space for Directors to converse with each other as they would during an in-person event, along with time to create action points for their organisations.

We have incorporated short comfort breaks at regular intervals throughout the day.
