Family Arts Leadership Symposium 2026: Resilient Futures

The Family Arts Leadership Symposium is the UK’s largest gathering for arts and culture leaders working with families and older people.

This year’s theme, Resilient Futures, explores how arts and culture organisations can adapt, sustain and grow in the face of ongoing change. The Leadership Symposium connects you with fellow leaders in the cultural sector, and supports you to understand the conditions needed for long-term stability, relevance and impact, and how you can improve your leadership approach within your role.

Whether you’re planning your next NPO application, looking to diversify income streams, better articulate your case for support, or reach new audiences, the Symposium will offer practical tools, fresh perspectives and actionable ideas to help build a more resilient future for your organisation.

Registration will open at 10:00 am for a 10:30am start and the event will finish at 5.30pm. Delegates are invited to join the Family Arts Campaign at MAC Bar after the event, for informal networking. Lunch and refreshments will be provided during the day.
