Audience Benchmarking Webinars

Heather Maitland’s overview of 2015 arts attendance trends, presented at APAC16, had some good news. Yet small increases in ticket sales and attendances, while welcome, are hard-won. In order for Heather and Study participants to share audience development insights and best practice, there’s a day of Workshops planned.

In a departure from the traditional one-to-one meetings, this year’s Benchmarking event was a series of Workshops, each one focused on an audience development issue identified as needing attention. Topics were selected based on Heather’s analysis of last year’s data and trends.

The four Workshops were videoed and are available below.
