Future of Theatre Conference 2026

Tue 28 Apr 26
Take your seats for the Future of Theatre, in association with Moore Kingston Smith - an award-winning one-day conference from The Stage for the entire theatre sector.

Join industry-leading experts from organisations such as Shakespeare North, Rambert and Welsh National Opera for panel discussions centred around the theme of ‘audiences’, including Not your normal crowd: building audiences beyond the usual suspects and Getting in on the action: making audiences part of the show. The Big Idea will also return, where theatremakers and industry professionals will pitch a radical idea based on the theme of ‘audiences’ to innovate the theatre industry.

For the first-time, the conference will take place at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, awarded Theatre Building of the Year at The Stage Awards 2026.

This is your chance to be in the room for bold ideas, lively debates and practical insights from industry leaders. Be part of what’s next and help change the future of theatre!

Ticket includes refreshments, lunch and post-conference drinks reception, alongside networking opportunities.
