Creative FLIP will hold its Final Conference on 9 June 2026, presenting its key outcomes to stakeholders from across the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries.
Creative FLIP is delighted to announce its one‑day final conference at La Tricoterie in Brussels on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, bringing together policymakers and stakeholders from across the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) to reflect, connect and look ahead.
Resilient Creative Futures are built together!
In Europe’s CCS, resilience is often seen as an individual responsibility: the ability of artists, workers and organisations to adapt, remain flexible and survive uncertainty. Creative FLIP takes a different view. Resilience does not exist in isolation. Resilience is systemic and collective: it is shaped by ecosystems, communities, support structures, policies and shared responsibility across the sector. Recognising that disruption is not exceptional but structural, Creative FLIP understands resilience not as “bouncing back” through short-term solutions, but as a forward-looking process of strengthening connections, capacities and conditions so the CCS can continually learn, adapt and evolve together.
Over the past 7,5 years, Creative FLIP has explored how resilience can be strengthened across levels: individual, organisational, sectoral and ecosystemic. Through research, pooling of information, policy work, peer learning, and experimentation, the project has helped imagine how the CCS can thrive in a rapidly changing world.
This final conference in Brussels brings these insights together, highlighting the importance of shared knowledge, fairer approaches to finances and working conditions, continuous learning opportunities and policies grounded in the realities of creative work.
This conference is also a heartfelt thank you to the community that shaped Creative FLIP, and ECHN will, of course, be there and will be part of the conference's agenda.
The registrations are free and open to all who are interested in attending the on-site event in Brussels. However, if you cannot meet us in person, don't worry, parts of the event will be livestreamed on the Goethe-Institut Brussels YouTube channel.
