Injustice, inequity, and oppression costs lives.
This is a fact no one can ignore in the face of disproportionate deaths from Covid-19 and police brutality among people who self-identify as Black, Asian, ethnically diverse, disabled or with chronic illness. It’s now broadcasting on every channel, at full volume: we’re in need of urgent social change.
So, what are arts organisations, and more specifically arts marketers, to do?
In 2021, Inclusivity & Audiences Day will explore just that. The AMA is planning a day to cut through the overwhelm of our current circumstances, get to the root of pressing topics, inspire new ideas, uplift, ignite, and rejuvenate.
What is an Unapologetic Agent of Change?
Someone who recognises the need for shifts in behaviour and culture, who takes action to create shifts, and understands as they move forward there will be learning and discomfort involved.
Throughout IA Day, our speakers will support you in identifying how you, in your role, can uncover your own power to recognise and make practical change.
Come because you want to:
- Embrace cultural shifts as you develop new marketing campaigns
- Develop relationships and communicate more effectively with people of social identities and lived experiences different from your own
- Flip the script on old approaches and frameworks that you can immediately apply to your work
- Be confident in challenging yourself, and those you work with, to make change
Join others who do what you do, and speakers in the areas of empathy, curiosity and culture, to find and identify the change you can make.

Online Platform & Access
We’ll be using an online event platform called Hopin for the event, which will give you the agency to ‘hop in’ and out of different talks and sessions and to build a day that best works for you. Once you book your place, we’ll be in touch with more information about the event, and how to get set up on the platform so that you can start exploring.
If you have any access requirements for the event, particularly if you need an interpreter, please email abby@a-m-a.co.uk so that we can talk about how we can best support you in attending the event.
