DAY 1 - Creators

We open this year’s conference with the creators shaping contemporary art today. Across four conversations, we explore the ideas, ambitions, and challenges that define creative practice, and what it takes to bring new work and perspectives into the world.

DAY 2 - Patrons

The second day explores the evolving role of patronage in the art world. Bringing together collectors, philanthropists, and cultural leaders, we examine how support for the arts is changing, and how stewardship, generosity, and institutional responsibility are shaping the future of the global art ecosystem.

DAY 3 - Dealers

The final day turns to the dealers driving the art market forward. Through a series of conversations, we examine the forces reshaping the business of art, from regional expansion and emerging opportunities to evolving business models and strategies for navigating a changing market.
