From 22 – 24 June, Lausanne will host the 25th edition of Communicating the Arts conference (formerly Communicating the Museum).
Communicating the Arts Lausanne will gather 250 communication and engagement experts working in museums, historical monuments, Heritage, the visual and performing arts.
Theatres, operas, festivals, galleries, heritage organisations, historical Monuments and museums have the power to transform their local areas into lively, beautiful and resilient communities with arts at their core.
Placemaking is a call to action for the arts world to capitalise on local assets, inspiration and potential to create public spaces that promote good health, stimulate local economies and lead to increased creative activity, innovation, diversity and civic engagement.
This requires carefully constructed and managed partnerships between the public, commercial, and not-for-profit sectors. How constitutive members collaborate with each other, across institutions and disciplines; with local communities and their changing demographics; with city stakeholders; with diverse funders; and with other urban agendas is crucial to their success.
At Communicating the Arts Lausanne we will share best practices and develop new understandings through a series of interactive case studies and conversations about the growing contribution that cultural organisations are making to create better cities.
We invite inspiring cultural leaders and experts from within and outside the arts to hear from international trends toward placemaking, learn from their mistake and discuss how cultural organisations can best serve their cities.

Speakers
Meet the 50+ leaders, communication experts, artists and activists that will share their expertise at Communicating the Arts Lausanne.
300 culture leaders will gather to network, engage in stimulating conversations and rethink their institution’s model and communications. Delegates are leaders and decision makers in their fields – from CEOs and directors, through to heads of department.
They come from Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, and represent a broad range of cultural organisations – from museums, historic houses and Heritage attractions, art galleries, opera houses, ballet and dance companies, theatres and beyond.
They are drawn from institutions large and small,public and private, old and new – but they are united by a desire to develop their knowledge and skills, and to help their organisations thrive in a changing world.
