Build Your Global Network Of Opportunity With Mary Lou Aleskie

In the age of globalization, many artistic entrepreneurs, while having one eye firmly fixed on their home turf, boldly set their sights on the international arena to expand the reach and impact of their arts. But where to look and how to start?  And who to turn to make the first move or expand your network?

There is perhaps no better strategic compass to help you sail through the uncharted territories than our special guest from the United States: international speaker Mary Lou Aleskie, Director of Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College and Chair of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA). Hear Ms Aleskie share her vast experiences and insights into how to build a tailored web of partners, improve leadership and arts entrepreneurship skills required to steward the expansion, and use these connections to achieve your artistic and career goals. Also, ISPA fellows will join us and open a constructive dialogue on expanding overseas network and capturing opportunities.

Dartmouth is one of the eight American Ivy League universities, among the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in the US.  It is situated in Hanover, New Hampshire in Northern New England.
