Join fellow festival and events professionals for this one-day event to gain insight, inspiration and connections for the year ahead. The Forum will include lightning talks, roundtables and opportunities to talk about topics including environmental sustainability, festivals and activism, festival ticketing and the Digital Markets Competition and Consumer Act, Martyn’s Law, BAFA’s research programme, tourism and the visitor levy. We’ll be looking at festivals and fundraising, and exploring the challenges of capacity and burnout within the sector, as well as exploring opportunities in the year ahead through our closing panel discussion, Reasons to be Cheerful. There will be plenty of opportunities to network and meet fellow festival organisers, including at a post-event drinks reception in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University, so please join us and help supercharge your festival team for the year ahead.
BAFA and AIF members can join for £12 each, and non-members for £20. Tickets will include teas/coffees during the day and the post-event drinks reception, but attendees will make their own arrangements for lunch. Registration and coffees will be available from 9.30am, with the drinks reception from 4pm – 5pm.
Tickets are available here.
We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh!
