2:30 pm – 3:45 pm: BREXIT: The Future of International Touring
A panel of speakers covering a range of expertise will lead an open discussion about the future of international touring for both British companies looking to tour to Europe and international companies looking to perform in the UK. We will look at the practical implications of touring internationally, including work permits, carnets, and VAT.
The aim of this discussion will be to support both artists and promoters to navigate the new measures that will be introduced at the end of the transition period and provide them with the tools and resources needed to enable creative exchanges between UK and European OA organisations.
