The ninth edition of This Way Up will take place in Dundee, Scotland, at Dundee Contemporary Arts, Wed 30 Nov – Thu 1 Dec, 2022. The conference will also be live streamed to online delegates from across the UK.
The conference is a place where exhibitors are invited come together to consider the key issues that affect our sector, and to develop creative solutions. As we sit on the cusp of a new 10-year BFI National Lottery Funding Strategy (April 2023- March 2033) this is a vital time for us to look towards the future.
As in 2021, an online version of the event will allow delegates to tune in to live sessions remotely and participate in discussion during the conference.
