Cultural Leadership Summit – Spin-Off Event

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association presents the Cultural Leadership Summit – Spin-off Event. The half day seminar will be held on 10 November 2021. Despite the easing of the recent COVID-19 situation, the event will be a hybrid event to align with the government’s proactive measures.

Global fallout from the pandemic has upended most of our usual business models and also changed the audience behaviour in many ways. Arts managers would need to seek for positive market strategies yet to balance artistic excellence. In order to reach out more netizens, expand our audiences through the virtual space, many of us strive to look for methods to present the performance or event as a hybrid. Managers often ask about the budget and operational concerns, how we should resolve the technical issues, for example the latency problems. HKAAA is actively seeking for conversations to help and promote the arts development with the latest trends and information sharing.

In November, HKAAA will hold a half-day seminar as the Summit Spin-off event. Representatives and experts will introduce the ticketing and production aspects for operating the hybrid event, as well as sharing from different telecommunications vendors in applying the 5G technology in the arts scene.

We invited renowned local guest speakers for spin-off event, including:
● Mr Phoebus Chan, Founder & Executive Director, PA House Asia Limited
● Mr Daniel Leung, Head of Business Markets, SmarTone
● Mr Ivan Lam, Director of Strategy, Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute
● Ms Jess Mak, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Market, 3 Hong Kong

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

The Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association was founded in 1985. Our Mission is to promote, develop, represent and support the entire scope of the arts administration community in Hong Kong.

Since 2010, HKAAA has successfully organized ten Cultural Leadership Summits. We have expounded, discussed and debated on many important topics integral to the arts and cultural industry, including Arts Funding, Audience Building and Arts & Technology.

With an annual offering of talks, workshops, roundtable discussions and networking sessions, the Summits have brought together arts practitioners, arts entrepreneurs, artists, educators, cultural partners from non-profit sectors and business organizations, as well as public policy makers.

Besides local arts practitioners, the Summit has also converged audiences from different cities and backgrounds, including representatives from Cloud Gate Theatre Taiwan, National Arts Council Singapore, Cultural Institution of Macau, and the US, Korean and Australian Consulate Generals in Hong Kong.
