Insights into data-driven audience development

Session 19 | Presentation | Friday, 16 May 2014 | 13:00 - 14:00 | Conference Room 1

There is no shortage of imaginative ideas when it comes to developing audiences for classical music: presentation and communication initiatives; themed programming; artistic collaborations. What artists and arts organisations really need to know is what approach will work for best them. Digital technology has opened up the potential for incredible sophistication in data analysis and insight. ‘Big data’ techniques can bring you invaluable information about your audiences, whether you are a solo artist, independent producer or larger arts organisation. This session will reveal how we can share, analyse and build on knowledge that we can then apply and further test in different international contexts.
