Will we party post-pandemic? How will that transform our venues and programmes? And how will we define that very collective experience we call events? 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been destructive to the many ways in which people go out and experience arts and culture collectively. But what happens when (or if) this is all over? While we already witness some venues reopening in other continents, many are only testing the limits of doing it safely. And for most of us, lockdowns keep the perspective blurred and uncertain. Together, we can and we should rewrite the rulebook for future events in the sector.

For this session, TEH brings two speakers Lutz Leichsenring and Pieter Lubberts, who have been at the forefront of the latest developments and solutions for events production around the world. They will present the Global Nighttime Recovery Plan – a collaborative, practical guide for cities. And the Fieldlab Events – an initiative to build a comprehensive Corona road map with cross-sectoral participation. 

This is the time to think ahead! Join this session to get inspired, hopeful, and ready to act.
