Let’s Get Real Conference 2025: Value?

This Let's Get Real conference asks how digital can add value for cultural audiences, communities and organisations.

How can digital add value for cultural audiences, communities and organisations? Alongside keynotes offering perspectives on digital and value from in and outside our sector, we will be sharing case studies from the range of experiments carried out by cultural organisations on this year’s programme. Issues covered will include ways to meaningfully interrogate data, using AI tools to study language models, auditing your digital skills, testing donation platforms and more.

Let’s Get Real is a collaborative action research programme that supports arts organisations in harnessing digital skills to communicate with their audiences, upskill their workforce and develop long-lasting digital transformation and organisational change. The programme was founded in 2011 and run by Culture24 until 2023, with it transferred to The Audience Agency as part of a merger between the two independent, non-profit organisations.

What you will get from attending

• You will learn from inspiring projects inside the cultural sector and beyond: discovering how to articulate the value of your work against your mission.
• Discover new, digitally-influenced ways to understand value, and take part in a day that recognises the importance of your experience and expertise in shaping how your organisation responds to change.
• Gain insights into some of the best digital practice and thinking, inspiring you to experiment yourself and how to prioritise activities and avoid burnout.

Join us for a day of honest reflection, critique, provocation and creative thinking.
