STAMP Connects 2026 is next Thursday, and here at Shoreditch Town Hall, we are gearing up to host all the fantastic artists and companies coming along for our day of useful conversations and networking. Below you will find all the main details for the day. We look forward to seeing you!

What is STAMP, and who is it for?

STAMP Connects is an afternoon of networking and open conversations for artists and organisations alike.

Here, barriers are broken down between independent artists and the organisations which exist to support them. We come together to discuss topics such as fundraising, programming performance and creative collaborations. Through our ‘marketplace’, artists get the opportunity to build relationships with 14 London-based arts organisations and gain an understanding of how those companies and venues can support them and their work.

This is the 7th STAMP Connects at Shoreditch Town Hall – come along and chat to the likes of Arts Council England, artsdepot and Theatre Deli as you network with fellow creatives.

What happens on the day?

Join us from 3pm where we will kick the day off with a short Welcome Speech from Camden People’s Theatre and Shoreditch Town Hall. Networking at the marketplace runs all day, and last entry is at 5:30pm so there is ample time to dip in and out to chat to any of our announced marketplace holders (you can even see our very own Cultural team: Suz and Ellie on our Shoreditch Town Hall stand!). This is a relaxed event, so there is no pressure to be there at the start of the day.

STAMP Connects ends the day with the opportunity to network, chat and connect over a drink – your ticket price includes 1 free drink for the evening’s networking which runs till 7.30pm.
