The theme of the 2021 Annual Conference was Coming Together, Breaking Through. The sessions were designed to help us lift our heads from the daily grind of solving problems and adapting to non-stop change, and come together as a community. We heard from new and impactful voices, thought more deeply, and made breakthrough revelations about the big-picture issues and opportunities for our field as we move into a period of recovery.
Instead of traditional breakout sessions, the week-long virtual conference featured a series of plenary talks delivered by preeminent change-makers, thought-leaders, advocates, artists, and innovators. The conference also gave ACSO members the chance to network with old friends and meet new colleagues through facilitated peer forums and idea exchanges.
Keynotes, plenary sessions, and networking discussions centered around these topics:
• Equity in action
• Future relevance for orchestras
• Community-centric fundraising
• Post-COVID organizational and leadership shifts
• What’s next in arts advocacy
• Creating authentic community relationships
