Organisations are encouraged to propose sessions that align with one of the festival hubs. Sessions should typically last 1–2 hours and may take the form of a keynote, panel discussion, or interactive workshop.

Submission deadline: 14 March 2025.

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 regular updates 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, panelists and facilitators identified and named.
• Please note that timing of the session will be defined and allocated by the Hub team.
