The AGM and Annual Review is a key event in UK Theatre's calendar where we reflect on the issues facing the sector over the last year, and highlight the work we have done for our members during that period. In previous years we have used this as an opportunity to meet and network with other member colleagues, but due to the pandemic we held the event online in 2021.
The most recent AGM and Annual Review took place online on Wednesday 3rd November 2021, and was open to all our members. The Annual Review is now available to view for anyone who was not able to attend, and the deck is available to download.
