Where Cultural Ambition Meets Business Innovation – Powered by AI
About this Event

Join leaders from across Scotland’s culture, business and public sectors for the C&BS Forum25, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the cultural economy – from creative production to fundraising and sustainable growth.

The day will open with a keynote address, followed by three panel discussions examining:

  • Responsible AI in the Creative Industries – insights from Creative Scotland, Culture for Climate Scotland and the University of Edinburgh on ethical and sustainable approaches to AI.
  • Smart Use of AI in Fundraising and Marketing – practical examples from organisations, including Edinburgh International Festival, SCVO and Inner Ear, on using AI to strengthen supporter engagement.
  • AI-Driven Growth for the Cultural Economy – perspectives from South of Scotland Enterprise, Trimontium Trust and others on how AI can support regional creative-tech clusters and cultural tourism.

The programme also includes updates from Culture & Business Scotland and Azets, along with opportunities to connect with fellow professionals over networking breaks.

Discover how innovation and creativity can work together to build a fair, sustainable and future-ready cultural economy.

Tickets (complimentary for C&BS Members) include lunch and a pre-festive reception 5pm-7pm.

Presented in partnership with Azets.


Who is it for?

Our Forums are open to all C&BS Members, as well as people working and volunteering for non-member organisations. If you’re looking to learn new things, challenge your thinking and network with fellow professionals, this is the event for you.
