Talk To the professionals sector consultation form

Estimated completion time: 5–10 minutes

Help us shape Semester 2 of Talk to the Professionals

Accidental’s Talk to the Professionals Programme empowers artists and technicians to thrive within today’s fast-changing creative industries. As digital innovation, hybrid performance models, and new production technologies reshape how work is made and shared, creative practitioners need future-focused skills that combine technical capability with bold artistic thinking.

Designed for early- and mid-career creatives, the programme offers a practical, hands-on pathway for developing skills through structured courses and talks, case studies, and learning through practice. Participants receive constructive peer and facilitator feedback within a supported learning environment, alongside mentoring and ongoing support. Practical training is delivered using real-world events in a live venue context, strengthening creative and technical foundations while building confidence in collaborative working and professional practice.

Semester 1 was a success. Now we're planning Semester 2 — and we want to make sure it responds to what the sector actually needs.

This short consultation (5–10 minutes) is for arts leaders working across the wider arts and creative industries. Your answers will directly shape what we offer.

All responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your details at the end.
