SUMMARY:POSTPONED March Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual convening of artists\, curators\, scholars and arts practitioners from around the world to discuss issues in contemporary art focuses this time on effective responses to global challenges in social unrest\, environmental degradation\, systemic erasure and alienation. \nThrough panels\, keynotes\, conversations and performances\, participants will examine how historical entanglements of language\, geography\, economy and social organisation shape our present. How can kinship\, memory and humour sustain connection even as shared stories fracture or fade? What forms of transmission – oral\, visual\, sonic\, literary\, archival – can trace the movement of knowledge and experience between people and places? \nThe March Meeting is always interesting and often insightful; there aren’t many equivalent symposia anywhere in the world (especially when attendance is free).  The provisional programme is here.

SUMMARY:BRIDGE Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:The organisers of BRIDGE Summit 2025 says its goal is to “establish itself as a comprehensive exploration of the forces transforming global media … Designed as a global platform for collaboration\, discovery\, and innovation\, BRIDGE Summit 2025 will explore how creativity\, technology\, and commerce converge to define the next era of communication and culture … bringing together leaders from media\, technology\, culture\, policy\, and investment”. \nEssentially it’s a high-powered large-scale three-day conference and exhibition that aims to shape “the future of media\, content and entertainment” across seven core tracks – Media\, Creator Economy\, Music\, Gaming\, Tech\, Marketing\, and Picture – which between them should have 300 exhibitors\, 200 talks and panels\, 50 interactive workshops\, and multiple opportunities for matchmaking and networking. \nIt is also aiming for more than 60\,000 ‘participants’\, a more pointedly proactive term than ‘visitors’; admission is free\, but you have to apply for a ticket to demonstrate that you qualify. \nCertainly the speaker list is impressive – lots of traditional and digital media bigwigs from around the world; a sprinkling of philanthropists and a mass of investors\, bankers and entrepreneurs; a bevy of enthusiasts and C-suite denizens from AI; several marketing-oriented thinkers and doers with a media or tech bias; and a couple of British ex-politicians. \nCheck the website for details of the programme\, which as of early November hadn’t been published yet.

SUMMARY:Reading for Pleasure Conference
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of this Emirates Literature Foundation conference brings together a diverse selection of educators and experts from across the globe\, including some of the most influential voices in the fields. The aim: to discuss and offer guides to best practice with the overall aim of fostering a love of reading amongst children. This year’s theme\, Beyond the Classroom\, focuses on the need to extend the scope of reading and associated activities\, considering such issues as reading with STEM\, inclusivity\, the impact of AI on reading\, and topics as explorative as reading art and keeping culture alive for children. Perhaps the tone will be set by the opening session\, which has the title ‘Reading in schools – we’re doing it wrong’; librarian and library adviser Alan Jacques has the hot seat for this one\, which he’s amplified as ‘Literacy rates are up and yet global statistics show that reading level are down … what’s happening?’ \nThe conference runs afternoons only 9 to 11 May. It is definitely one for librarians\, teachers and other professionals\, but there will be important learnings for parents too …

SUMMARY:Sharjah Animation Conference
DESCRIPTION:SAC returns for its third annual edition\, again organised in collaboration with Italy’s Bergamo Animation Days (BAD)\, with an extensive (indeed\, impressive) programme of trends\, cutting-edge technologies\, and game-changing opportunities\, This year there’s a substantial Japanese influence – Studio Ghibli notables\, anime in many of the sessions\, an afternoon of cosplay … \nOverall\, it’s a chance for enthusiasts\, current and would-be professionals and industry folk to mingle with some of the world’s best animators – more than 70 of them\, say the organisers\, with the full list here. Headliners include Masayuki Miyaji and Tamiya Terashima\, both associated with Studio Ghibli; Tom Bancroft of Pencilish Animation Studios\, known for his work on Disney classics like Mulan and Aladdin; and the celebrated character designer Sandro Cleuzo\, known for Anastasia\, Tarzan\, and Chip’n Dale (his workshop predictably sold out early\, sadly\, and so has Bancroft’s). \nKhoula Al Mujaini\, Executive Director of SAC\, described animation as “a universal language that transcends borders\, cultures\, and generations … Through SAC\, we aim to celebrate this remarkable art form\, inspire new generations of creatives\, and provide a space where industry leaders can connect\, collaborate\, and push the boundaries of animated storytelling”. \nMost of the artist led workshops are hands-on and/or quite technical\, which justifies the extra costs applied to them. But the standard AED 139 four-pass does give you access to 30+ talks\, panel discussions and roundtables; lots of activations (which usually means people trying to sell you stuff\, but in entertaining fashion); and three live music gigs\, include one “live anime concert”. There’s also a “shared creative space to draw and collaborate”. And of course there will be many screenings.

SUMMARY:Culture Summit Abu Dhabi
DESCRIPTION:The seventh edition of the Summit\, which runs 27-29 April\, again brings together “thought leaders” from art\, heritage\, media\, museums\, music\, public policy and technology to debate the role of culture. This year’s theme is the catch-all ‘Culture for Humanity and Beyond’ and the forum will explore “the ever-dynamic relationship between culture and humanity in an unrivalled period of transformation … The Summit will prompt a collective rethinking of human emancipation\, humanism\, and seek to find a new common ground to build a shared sustainable future”. \nThis it will do across three days of panels\, creative conversations\, case studies\, artist talks and workshops\, all reimagining what tomorrow could look like “as old ways of thinking become obsolete”. \nDay one will be focused on the sub-theme\, ‘reshaping the cultural landscape’ As power shifts continue in a world marked by the digital revolution\, economic inequality\, and geopolitical volatility\, cultural identities and societal values are being redefined. The sessions will explore the impact of these shifts on the production\, reception\, and consumption of culture\, and discuss the role the creative sector can play in guiding humanity through uncertainty towards a confident future. \nDay two’s sub-theme is ‘the new frontiers of a post-human environment”’. As advancements in technology\, including AI\, biotechnology\, and environmental studies redefine the essence of humanity\, the sessions on this day will examine how culture can ensure these changes enhance human experience. The programme will explore how the cultural and creative sectors are adapting their business models\, infrastructures\, and policies to seize the opportunities these new frontiers present. \nDay three will examine ‘new frames to redefine Culture for Humanity and Beyond’\, discussing how innovative\, collaborative efforts and the rise of ‘glocal’ approaches can foster resilience\, inclusion\, and sustainability. The sessions will also examine how cultural innovation\, and technology can help reshape narratives and create new common ground to overcome global polarisation. \nThe full programme is here. Attendance is (mostly) by invitation\, but you can ‘register your interest’ here and you might get the call … \n  \n

SUMMARY:Makers’ Month
DESCRIPTION:Dubai Culture is running its third Makers’ Month this weekend at Earth Roastery in Al Quoz – panel discussions\, talks\, and hands-on workshops “designed to sharpen skills and foster collaboration between manufacturing and the creative industries”. The principles are sound: encourage local manufacturing businesses to see what’s going on the crrative field\, encourage creatives to think about using local production facilities if they have one-offs or short runs to make\, generally help the creative sector up its act in thinking commercially. And there are incentives to highlight: Khulood Khoory\, Director of the Projects & Events Department at Dubai Culture\, said the weekend would emphasise “Al Quoz Creative Zone’s unique resources\, investment opportunities\, and proven models”. \nThe workshops range from the basics – sustainability\, craftsmanship\, starting up a business – to more advanced topics like using AI in product design workflows. And some of the presentations are sure to be packed out: Alhaan Ahmed of ARDH on ‘Designers as Entrepreneurs: Crafting Sustainable and Desirable Solutions for the Future’ looks a good one. ‘The Art and Business of Ceramics: Craft\, Growth\, and Community’ with a strong panel is another good subject\, the delicate balance beween art\, community and commerce. \nThe programme – download the PDF here – also features a guided bus tour organised by Make Works UAE to visit three local factories: a furniture manufacturer\, a multipurpose production facility\, and a printing house and design studio. The tour offers live demonstrations and real-time exposure to the creatives’ processes\, “underlining Al Quoz Creative Zone’s technical expertise and craftsmanship”. \nAttendance is free\, but you’ll need to pre-register. And no\, we don’t know why a weekend event is titled as a month …

SUMMARY:Sharjah Animation Conference
DESCRIPTION:“We bring together animation enthusiasts\, professionals\, and children to celebrate the art and craft of animation.” This second edition of the conference actually offers a rich programme of workshops\, talks\, screenings\, and exhibitions which seem most suited to the industry; it’s organised by Sharjah Book Authority in partnership with Italy’s Bergamo Animation Days (BAD) and features a roster of heavy speakers from the industry – lots of Europeans\, predictably enough\, but also a good representation from the Arab world. \nHighlights include a Masterclass by artist and director Junichi Hayama\, celebrated for his work on titles like Fist of the North Star; an exhibition from stop-motion specialists Aardman Animation that promises an in-depth look at the studio’s innovative techniques and storytelling prowess\, and a special 30th anniversary screening of The Lion King\, with a presentation from top Disney animator Andreas Deja. \nOne day tickets are AED 280\, the four-day pass is AED 400 (but there were heavy discounts when we last checked). Those prices just buy admission to the event; if you want to attend a workshop\, you’ll pay extra – AED 350 per workshop (and no discounts that we could see). The workshops look particularly good\, an hour long and generally on very practical topics like animating facial expressions and using Storyboard Pro; there are around two dozen of them over the last three days (day one is just the exhibition plus a concert of iconic game soundtracks from the Florence Pops Orchestra).
