Tessitura London

TC & Friends’ Keynote at Tessitura London Conference 2026

This month, TC & Friends Managing Director Zulum Elumogo was invited to deliver the closing keynote at the annual Tessitura Learning and Community Conference (TLCC) at London’s Queen Elizabeth II Centre.

Titled ‘The Permission to Dream’, Zulum spoke about the transformative power of arts, culture and design to foster empathy, community and belonging, while also incubating innovation and prototyping new ideas. He shared insights from his unique leadership journey and career pathway into the industry, and outlined how the arts can reclaim a narrative of hope and possibility amid ongoing socio-economic and geopolitical turbulence.

Tessitura provides operational and ticketing technology for more than 800 arts and cultural organisations worldwide. Originally developed by New York’s Metropolitan Opera, the software later evolved into a shared, membership-led platform run by the nonprofit Tessitura Network. 

With more than 450 senior arts and culture professionals in attendance, TLCC brings the global membership together to share best practice, discuss the latest developments in the field and hear from leading voices in the sector.
