A conference about the business of storytelling. Connect, learn, share, collaborate.
Learn something new.
The way we make and consume stories is changing. Explore new ideas and discover fresh opportunities for storytellers.
Running over two days on 17th and 18th November, from 2pm–6pm on both days.
We’ll be announcing our guest speakers shortly.
Tickets from the original date (19 May 2021) are still valid.
Connect & collaborate.
Thanks to the pandemic, Confluence will be running online this year. But that doesn’t mean just watching endless webinars. We’re going to provide new ways to mingle and meet other attendees, exchange ideas, and hopefully find collaborators for your next great project.
In previous years, we’ve featured an inspiring range of speakers talking about their work and ideas
