Culture Republic’s Access All Areas Conference took place in Edinburgh on 29 October 2015. The day explored some of the resources that are available to help artists, leaders and marketers connect more effectively with the diverse groups represented in our local communities.

The driving idea behind the conference was to show that when cultural leaders, artists and entrepreneurs act in the interests of everyone, creative inspiration and engagement grows.
