Conference Overview
The OAUK 2023 Conference ‘Reconnect’ took place on Wed 1 and Thu 2 Feb in Bradford across two venues – Bradford Cathedral and Kala Sangam Arts Centre. It was a chance to reconnect with the sector and build new working relationships in person (at last). The main conference day was a combo of presentations, networking, socialising and discussions to inspire, engage and connect.
There were lots of inspirational speakers, plenty of time to connect and network, smaller discussion areas, and some speed-meeting sessions to connect on a more personal level. We celebrated and encouraged creative ways of working in partnership to build on the ambitions of the Outdoor Arts sector and we also heard about the plans and opportunities coming up in Bradford as City of Culture 2025.
