The conference which will be hosted in a hybrid format is scheduled to take place in Pretoria, Gauteng, on 9 and 10 November 2022 at the CSIR International Convention Centre.

Organised in partnership with the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, it intends to bring together local and international thinkers, academics, key industry stakeholders, including funders (current and potential), cultural practitioners and artists to share experiences and insights about what and how the industry can rebuild, consolidate and innovate in order to grow and support sustainable livelihoods for the cultural practitioners and the South African creative sector.
