Throughout the day at JOLT you may have been invited to record a "Boo" with me. AudioBoo is an audio podcasting social network where I regularly post audio blog posts. This 'Boo' is a response to my audio post about my reflections on the day from Nick Holloway a member of my audience.

With the major changes happening in the world of cultural development, the sands shift beneath our feet on what feels like a daily basis. JOLT is designed to enable high quality debate around some of the key issues of the day, including engaging with new technology, faith groups, tourism channels, and making the most of large-scale public initiatives.

How DO we engage with our local communities?

Should we be focussing on using volunteers to such an extent?

What will changes in funding and income mean to our commitment to widening access to our cultural offer?

You are invited to join this debate, and discuss with UK and European leaders the challenges we all face in our working lives.

Can you offer any new solutions?

What are the tools you’re using to engage with hard to reach groups?

What DOES the future hold for us all?

JOLT is aimed at industry specialists including directors, managers, curators, producers, specialists in education, research, strategy, marketing, communications and audience development.

This event is part of Audiences Central’s rolling programme of organisational support and contributes to Audiences Europe Network’s exciting international project, Extending The Margins.
