Heritage Leaders Mastermind

Our Heritage Leaders events bring together senior people from across heritage, museums, arts and culture to meet, share ideas and discuss the issues shaping the sector.

Apply To Be Considered

It’s a chance to step outside your own organisation, compare notes with peers facing similar challenges, and build relationships with people who understand the pressures of working in heritage and culture. Whether you’re able to attend in person or prefer to join our online masterminds, you’ll be in the company of leaders who take the sector as seriously as you do.

The benefits of joining

Regular heritage, museum and culture insights with our Heritage Briefings. Unsubscribe anytime.

Private invitations to heritage events including drinks, dinners, networking and training workshops

Consideration for a free ticket to our famous annual Heritage Leaders Mastermind Dinners (worth £350)

How it works

Most of our events are free and funded by Heritage Creative.

Each month, we host an online mastermind via Google Meet, bringing together senior leaders from across the heritage, arts and cultural sectors to share ideas, discuss challenges and learn from one another.

We also run a varied programme of in-person events throughout the year, including private roundtables, museum and gallery visits, walks, café meetups, and informal drinks or dinners. Most take place in London, typically on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Alongside these, we host our annual Heritage Leaders Mastermind Dinner, training workshops and presentations, with opportunities for members to share their own ideas, experiences and projects with a trusted group of peers.

Who can apply

Guests who have previously attended one of our Heritage Creative events

Guests who have received a direct invitation or approval from Heritage Creative

Senior leaders within established heritage, museum, arts or cultural organisations

Museum Directors, Gallery Directors and CEOs of heritage or cultural organisations

“A great event, well hosted by Heritage Creative with good company and food and the chance to network with professionals in the same sector and share experiences and knowledge. I’m looking forward to the next one.”

Have a venue or topic in mind?

We’re always open to ideas from people across the heritage, arts and cultural sectors. If you have a venue that would make an interesting setting for one of our events, or a topic you think would spark a useful conversation, we’d love to hear from you.

This could be anything from a museum, gallery, historic building, café, pub, restaurant or walking route, through to a theme, challenge or question you feel other leaders would benefit from exploring. We’re particularly interested in ideas that encourage open discussion, fresh perspectives and meaningful connections across the sector.
