Event Schedule

  • Doors/registration/coffee

  • Opening remarks

  • Attitude Is Everything’s Live Event Access Charter is an industry standard designed to help you build disability equality into all aspects of your festival.

  • Welsh Festival Green Travel Toolkit

  • We would be nothing without Festival Freelancers but this huge workforce of individuals has never had a safe space to talk, share and support each other. Until now. The Fold was established by three festival freelancers and has developed into a vital network for the event freelancer community. A halfway house between trade unions and trade associations working collaboratively with the festival sector to help improve things for all.

  • The LIVE Trust was formed this year to distribute proceeds from the £1 ticket levy on arena, stadium and outdoor shows to support grassroots music. Hear from the Trust as they prepare to distribute the first funds.

  • A workshop where you will be looking at operational challenges the industry has faced in the season just gone whilst also facing ahead the coming year through open discussion for practical solutions.

  • What’s working in marketing and what’s not? Together you will find solutions, new collaborations and feel more confidence about throwing some of the poor-returns into the bin.

  • With John Rostron (AIF) and Fiona Goh (BAFA)

  • Evening mixer with Swn Festival.
