2:00 pm - 3:00 pm Panel Discussion “Stepping out of the shadow: Making Your Festival Unique and Unforgettable”
How will the ailing European and world economy be impacted when the usual sources of revenue are drying up? What makes some festivals have a recognizable "face" while others struggle in the grey zone? Festivals need to stop thinking - whether openly or in secret - that to be perceived as unique, they need "stars" in the attendance. The true star of a festival is its atmosphere, and one strategy that has proven useful in achieving it is fostering a relationship with local authorities, from easing the considerable festival logistics to helping look for new ways to secure economic benefits. Leveraging local assets and markets will take you from the shadows into the spotlight and benefit you and your community. Learn from these savvy directors how they brought their festivals into the black.
