Dan Thompson
Dan was singled out by Prime Minister David Cameron as an example of great British leadership after he spurred a city-wide clean-up initiative via social media following the London riots of 2011. That project inspired his current work which uses social media for social good.
Dan is an artist and writer based on the South Coast. He is the founder and director of Revolutionary Arts and author of Pop-Up Business For Dummies. In 2012, he was included in the Time Out and Hospital Club’s Culture 100, a list of the most inspiring and influential people in the UK’s creative industries.
Dan is a recognised expert on the reuse of empty shops, and on how to create a pop-up shop, and runs the Empty Shops Network.
