RECHARGE 2024 RECAP: Revitalising, Invigorating, Innovating in London and Dublin

RECHARGE 2024 was an incredible success, bringing together arts, culture, and creative industry professionals for two dynamic days of connection, innovation, and sector-wide collaboration in both Dublin and London.

Our venues—Leicester Square Theatre in London and the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin—provided the perfect settings for inspiring conversations and ground breaking insights. The energy was palpable as experts and community members shared ideas on everything sustainability and the role of arts in heath & wellbeing, to audience engagement and AI.

In Dublin, we powered up with an electrifying agenda that included thought-provoking discussion on sustainability, visitor experiences, and consumer loyalty. The closing keynote from Chris Spring, our Chief Product Officer, provided a powerful wrap-up to a day packed with fresh perspectives. And what better way to end than with an unforgettable evening social at Kennedy’s?

London brought its own brand of energy, with bold discussions on tech inclusivity from I Am Not A Typo, creative health led by Dr Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt, leadership and management from Professor Chris Kemp and Jay Bourley, sector shake-ups from David Taylor and Mark Gordon. We were thrilled to have Scottish comedian and sustainability researcher Matt Winning, whose unique take on sustainability left everyone inspired. A buzzing social event at the Arboretum, London capped off RECHARGE 2024 in style.

Both events showcased the power of our community and left us feeling more connected than ever. It was an amazing opportunity to recharge, reimagine the future, and strengthen our resolve to keep pushing boundaries in the arts and cultural sector.

It was fantastic to see so many of you at RECHARGE 2024 in Dublin and London!
