READYWHEN NYC
THE CITY BECOMES THE CLASSROOM
October 29–30 | New York City
REAL PLACES. REAL SYSTEMS. PRACTICAL SKILLS.
ReadyWhen is coming to New York for a two-day Foundations Field Intensive presented in partnership with OPERA America. We’ll move between learning sessions, hands-on skills, working cultural spaces, and scenario-based exercises — learning with people who operate these systems every day.
OPERA America’s National Opera Center will serve as our home base, with additional NYC learning sites and practitioners to be announced as the cohort comes together.
Arts and cultural organizations already know how to gather people, operate complex spaces, communicate under pressure, and care for communities. ReadyWhen takes that existing capacity seriously and gives people a chance to practice, test, and connect those skills before something goes wrong.
WHO IT’S FOR
Arts and cultural leaders, venue and event operators, administrators, emerging leaders, emergency management and public-agency partners, funders, and others responsible for the people, places, and systems communities rely on.
Small, cross-functional groups from each organization are encouraged to participate and maximize the benefits of the interactive exercises.
Made possible through underwriting from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs
Learning cohort limited to 50
