Here we are, ready for the 13th conference of the network!
We will meet you in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, during the 16th and the 18th of October 2024.
The 13th Culture Next conference gathers representatives from 50 European cities and the most important cultural networks, together with representatives of the European Commission, local artists, and cultural organisations from Cluj-Napoca.
The event hosts keynote speeches, panels, and workshops on the Culture Goal (making Culture the 18th SDG in the next UN Agenda) and the ECoC Reform (improving the European Capitals of Culture project of the European Union).
A dedicated government officials’ agenda creates opportunities to share good case practices and discuss collaborations on hot European topics such as the New European Bauhaus, Culture and Resilience, Culture and Well-being, and so on. The conference includes meetings and matchmaking sessions with local artists and organizations, city tours and visits, and various local showcases and events.
The general conference program is as follows: the 16th of October is the pre-meetings day, and the agenda includes management meetings and a further step in the development of The SDG Thing, while in the evening we gather together for the Official Reception. The conference officially starts on the 17th of October, a day open to the general public. The official program ends on the 18th of October with a schedule centred around network-related sessions and conversations.
