Watch It Back 

The Australian Performing Arts Exchange (APAX) 2025 began with two powerful voices that set the tone for our gathering.

Erica McCalman’s Conference Provocation asked the sector to look forward with courage, care and creativity and building a sustainable arts ecology.

Andy Packer’s Keynote Address reflected on leadership, collaboration and building a legacy from 20 years of Slingsby.

We’re delighted to now be able to share these important words with the sector. If you weren’t in the room or want to revisit their insights, watch the full videos now and share with your colleagues.
