Festival and event management

Online training for successful community festivals and events

Festivals and events create community pride in what makes a place unique and special. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has hit the festival and event industry particularly hard. Our course content is updated with the latest and most relevant materials in response to the pandemic.

  • What marketing strategies will help you sustainably grow your event?
  • How do you manage an event’s financial health and sponsor relationships?
  • How do you implement health and safety protocols going forward?

Let’s explore the answers together as you pivot, maintain critical relationships, and reset your events. Throughout the course, you will develop a business plan tailored to your event, laying out the roadmap for your event to adapt and succeed.
