The exhibition stands are always a valuable opportunity to meet suppliers face to face and understand the latest developments, particularly in terms of technology. I’ve found this especially useful in the past as I was responsible for leading the selection and installation of a new ticketing solution for the theatres. Being able to chat to suppliers and view everything in one place was hugely helpful in understanding what was currently available in the market place and in the process of decision making.

AMA conference 2012
Connect, engage, inspire
Brighton Dome / 10th - 12th July 2012
This year's conference will explore whether there is a disconnection between arts organisations and the everyday lives of our audiences and visitors. It will give insight into latest thinking on how best to connect, engage and inspire the public and how we can take inspiration from them.
It will provide evidence about what really works, moving far beyond interesting rhetoric, addressing a range of questions we’re asking ourselves such as:
- How do we encourage audiences and visitors to connect and work with us in a genuine way?
- How do we combine digital and traditional communications to engage people with our work?
- How do we present, communicate and share the arts at a time where people are increasingly becoming curators of their own cultural experiences?
- How do we ensure that the arts are seen as a priority for our communities?
- And how do we motivate and inspire ourselves and our organisations to re-imagine and re-shape the future of our arts organisations?
The venues
Brighton Dome and Corn Exchange
Commissioned by the Prince Regent, Prince of Wales (later King George IV) this Grade I listed building was designed by William Porden, and is noted for its unmistakable Indian style exterior. It also has a Grade II listed 1930s interior hallway and was originally built as stables and riding school as part of the Royal Pavilion complex. What is now the main auditorium was once the stables, and the Corn Exchange was once a gravelled riding school.
Brighton Museum and Art Gallery
Set in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter, Brighton Museum and Art Gallery is located in the Royal Pavilion gardens. It was founded by local brewer and social reformer Henry Willett who was an avid collector of pottery and porcelain. The World Art collection is one of the finest in the country with artefacts dating back two millennia. The Fine Art collection contains 2,000 paintings and the Fashion Gallery celebrates centuries of style from Regency to Biba.
A stone's throw from the seafront, Revolution has a sumptuous main clubroom, bars and a Vodka Attic which hosts cocktail-making masterclasses
