    What is REMIX?

    Culture and creativity is central to vibrant communities, lifestyles, entertainment and leisure. Cultural expression is now core to building powerful communities and brands, creating content and experiences that engage on an entirely different level.

    Meanwhile, technology continues to disrupt business models and distribution strategies. Consumers are changing, and more powerful than ever – entrepreneurs are finding enitrely new business models to meet their needs for commercial gain.

    REMIX explores the crossroads of these: culture, business and technology; of heritage and innovation.

    What will be covered?

    The day is structured around five areas:

    1. BIG IDEAS at the nexus of culture, technology and business: What are the emerging opportunities and challenges for arts and business leaders alike? How can new revenue streams be created for financing cultural excellence alongside public funding?

    2. FINANCE & BUSINESS MODELS – How do we finance and execute Big Ideas within the realities of financial limitations, organisational structures and disparate attitudes? What collaborations, structures and resources will enable us to turn ideas into reality?

    3. GROWING THE MARKET – What creative new approaches to customer engagement strategies are on the horizon?

    4. CULTURAL CONSUMPTION – In online, offline and the space between, what emerging distribution channels can we utilise to satisfy multi-channel consumers?

    5. FUTUROLOGY: WHAT’S NEXT? – With briefings from leading trend analysts, what does the near future hold for virtual access, policy and commercial income generation?

    And there’s more…

    Thanks to Bloomberg the proceeds from the REMIX programme are being used to create a cultural entrepreneurship toolkit for use beyond the day itself. All delegates attending the event receive a copy of the new publication from CultureLabel, REMIX, which analyses key consumer and technology trends that are creating new opportunities for the culture industry.

    You can also share information from the event with the rest of your organisation: delegates will receive a link to The Guardian Culture Professionals Network. Once you submit your details you can download additional digital copies of REMIX which can be distributed freely to colleagues. On the REMIX site you will also be able to access ongoing trend information, updated regularly, that is relevant to the sector. All of the talks will be filmed and will also be available on this website so you can share the day with any of your colleagues that were unable to attend.
