Global Cities After Dark returns for its 3rd year on Friday 15 November 2019 - a forum pioneering the emerging field of night time governance, featuring some of the world’s leading figures in nightlife, city planning, policy-making and health and safety.
Framed by three themes:
Content and Culture
Creative Space and City Planning
an Policy/Framework and Education
The 2019 forum will feature keynotes from eight international experts, as well as “deep dive” workshops, breakout sessions and a hypothetical, focused on harm minimisation.
The program delivers an integrated experience, drawing on the collective knowledge, expertise and real life experience of not just the international speakers, (who will be joined by domestic experts) but also the forum attendees.
