IETM – International network of contemporary performing arts – invites its members and wider performing arts network to join them in Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture on 22-24 October for the IETM Focus Bradford Meeting 2025.

With international relations having entered a new period of upheaval, participants will come together to consider what this means for the future of cross-border creative collaboration.

With current developments as a backdrop, the meeting will delve into critical questions with leaders from across the performing arts and European policy to digest and debate the options ahead.

As global tensions rise and the UK continues to navigate its post-Brexit reality, participants will think big and imagine what an expanded Creative Europe might look like. Can it become a programme that welcomes participation from all corners of the globe?

There will also be ample networking moments, a rich artistic programme offer, and the opportunity to discover all that Bradford has to offer this year, including Transform 25 festival, the Turner Prize 2025.

IETM members can register now.  Registrations will be open to non-members from 1 September, please book your place as soon as possible.

Arts Infopoint UK is delighted to be supporting IETM’s meeting in the UK as a key moment for international networking and discussion.

IETM Bradford Focus Meeting 2025 is co-organised by IETM, Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture and IETM member caravan, Farnham Maltings and our associate members Creative Scotland and Arts Infopoint UK. Look forward to seeing you there.
