Let's have a real conversation – while music festivals are a haven for unforgettable memories and good vibes, they're not immune to the shadows. The risk of overdose or harm at large events is a harsh reality we can't overlook. 💔 It's time to equip ourselves with knowledge! Understanding how to respond in those crucial moments can make all the difference. From recognizing the signs to administering life-saving measures, knowledge is our strongest ally. 🤝 Let's stand united against the shadows and be ready to save lives. Share this post, ignite discussions, and let's build a community armed with information. Together, we can shine a light on overdose risks and ensure that every festival remains a place of joy and safety with @opisafevending! 🎶 Learn More | https://vist.ly/36a3m #opisafevending #safetyfirst #harmreduction #festivalsafety #narcanaccess #safercommunities #trustinevents #opisafe #festivalinnovation #publichealthinnovation

LOSING VENUES At Safer Dance, we understand how valuable music venues are to the night time economy, the cultural hubs they become for towns and cities, and how they benefit artists and musicians all over the country. We do not want to lose any more! The pandemic had a huge effect on music venues and they are still recovering from that to this day. It’s time to make a change and keep our venues open. #saferdance #clubbing #studentunions #riskmanagement #insight4grc #resilience #riskappetite #students #university #managerisk #risk #responsibility

Even in #middleage, I still love a good festival. A time to catch up with friends, discover new artists, and connect with different cultures. Plus, there's nothing like a little boogie with people you don't know to let loose. 💃 So, it's disheartening to see so many music festivals in #Australia collapsing! The aftermath of the #pandemic, soaring ticket prices, #environmental challenges, and a shift in younger #generations thoughts around multi-day events have led to a wave of major festivals cancelling across the country. Where does this leave the future of live music in Australia? What changes can we expect or need? Well Kara Ortiga with the help of Samuel Whiting from the University of South Australia and Simone Schinkel CEO at Music Victoria discussed some of this and more in our latest report. How can they continue to build on the shared interest of audiences, but also accommodate more niche tastes. How might they offer more flexibility with payment options, helping with #financialplanning and more than ever, how can they speak to the needs of #anxiousyouths I really do hope they can find the solutions, because some of my best memories involve a field, limited hygiene practices and being surrounded by friends, both old and very very new.

I came across a music festival this week in Quebec City. And as I was watching the show having myself some poutine I thought of #CPAs. There’s a really good lesson we can learn from other professions. Watch this week’s video to see how you can apply it to your firm. #AccountantSuccessFormula #coaching #accountingbusiness #cpafirm #accountingfirm

We're working with a brilliant, award-winning music festival in Bristol. Music, as it should, takes centre stage. However, what I love about the design process is when the realisation happens. The realisation that the brand that we have designed with them, captures the spirit of who they are. It’s music to my ears. #branding #festivalbranding #designprocess
