Organisations are encouraged to propose sessions that align with one of the festival hubs. Sessions should typically last 30-90 minutes and may take the form of a keynote, panel discussion, or interactive workshop.

There is no funding offered to those holding a session within a hub, as the festival covers all venue costs.

Participating in a hub offers significant benefits, including enhanced visibility, access to a targeted audience, and the opportunity to contribute to the festival's overall impact. The festival team will manage all bookings for hub sessions and provide you with a login to check on attendee numbers.

What are we looking for?

• ‍‍Fully formed sessions on topics specific to the hub, and of interest to festival audiences.
• Featured speakers, panellists and facilitators identified and named.
• Please note that timing of the session will be defined and allocated by the Hub team.
