Join us for a half day session full of inspiration and connections for a fabulous year ahead! 

What's involved?

These are fun, social events, packed with tips and inspiration, so come ready to share and learn!  Whether you're new to the festival or an old hand, there will be something for everyone with our lightning talk sessions. Your HODs team will take you through registration and marketing, with a focus on how to give events some added sparkle by engaging in our national theme. And, most importantly, your fellow organisers will be there to share their experiences.

Outline Agenda:
  • HODs 101 - Festival basics
  • Inspiration - Organiser showcase
  • Top Tips & Inspiration - Media hooks & event ideas
  • Activity - Make it count!

P.S - Don't worry, attending doesn't commit you to running an event!

Massive thank you to everyone Such a positive and useful morning.
