Questions for the Opening Night Panel: Online Forum
Propose, debate and vote on the big questions and recession-bending ideas for the opening night panel. Cuts, closures, reorganisation… what does it mean for the Arts, and what part can digital play in overcoming the change and austerity? This panel will help shape following debates featuring Jeremy Hunt (Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport), Mark Thompson (Director-General of the BBC) and more.
