Participant Remarks — Reflecting on SIPAM 2026 As SIPAM 2026 draws to a close, the floor opens to everyone in the room. This final gathering is not a panel to be watched but a conversation to be joined — an invitation to every delegate, artist, presenter, and partner who shaped these four days to speak. Organizers and participants come together to reflect on what this thirtieth edition has meant: the encounters made, the ideas exchanged, the collaborations sparked, and the questions that will travel home with everyone.
More than a summing-up, the session is a shared act of looking forward. What did this Market reveal about where the performing arts are heading — and what do we want SIPAM, and the wider field, to become? Guided by moderators Richard Jordan and Anthony Sargent, the conversation moves from the present moment to collective hopes for the future: the relationships worth sustaining, the work still to be done, and the commitments each of us is willing to carry beyond Sibiu. Every voice is welcome. Whether you came to present, to discover, to fund, or simply to listen, you are invited to take the microphone, name what mattered, and help imagine what comes next. Moderator — Anthony Sargent, CBE · International Cultural Advisor; founding General Director, Sage Gateshead (GBR) Moderator — Richard Jordan · International Artistic Producer & Columnist, The Stage (GBR)
All delegates and participants are warmly invited to take the floor.
