What to expect

Audience discovery is changing fast. Join HDK's first ever in-person event and panel discussion to explore what's driving this change and how organisations can remain relevant.

Where are audiences actually finding events, exhibitions and experiences?

From social media and email to websites, AI search and recommendations, the ways audiences discover culture is evolving fast.

Take our survey

Ahead of our in-person event, we’re running a short survey asking arts, culture and heritage organisations how they think audiences are discovering their work.

What’s working for you? What’s not? Help us shape a study that will explore these questions and provide a toolkit to navigating audience discovery in 2026 and beyond.
