An interactive session to hear about what it takes to run a group, collective or company and understand the different types of individual organisational structures and governance models in different contexts.

Through a panel of experts there is a chance to ask questions, hear about the benefits and challenges in working collaboratively, and find out what is right for you. 

Come early and buy a drink at the bar, network with other creatives and submit a question for the panel. 

The panel will include:
