Warning: this is not a conference for the built environment. If you come to Pattern Festival 2024 expecting a standard industry experience, you won’t get one. We aim to entertain, inform, inspire and surprise you. Our placemaking event is a festival, not a conference. We’ve deliberately chosen to call it that. What makes it a festival? We’ve got a varied lineup of guest speakers, panellists and presenters, many of whom you wouldn’t normally associate with the built environment. We want to move the dial, celebrate grassroots activity and put progressive placemaking firmly on the agenda. Why don’t you join us? Pattern Festival 2024 is on 19 June, at x+why, Victoria Embankment, Manchester. Tickets are on sale now. Limited availability. www.patternfest.com

How can ID&T gain a deeper understanding of the next generation of festival visitors? 🎪 🎉 In recent years, the festival market has undergone significant changes, particularly in how younger audiences engage with these events. The traditional festival model, as it was once conceived, no longer resonates as strongly with the next generation. To address this shift, we collaborated with Dutch Gen Z’ers to co-create a new understanding of what makes a festival meaningful to them. This target group values characteristics such as like authenticity, safety, security, and sustainability. These insights revealed exciting opportunities for future events for Dutch entertainment organisation ID&T’s. We compiled this into a roadmap to meet the values and expectations of the next generation of festival-goers. Want to know more about this project? Get in touch with our colleagues Nina Grispen or Tim Ramsche. #festivals #setgreatthingsinmotion #cocreation #genz

Do you ever wonder if other planners are doing the same thing or have a better way: Do they know something you don't? What you are feeling is FOBO - fear of better operations.

🚨YOUROPE has developed and released the “3F Diversity & Inclusion Toolset” for the European festival sector. The Toolset 🪛🛠🔩 is a curated collection of resources that can help festival organizers make their events more diverse and inclusive – for their visitors, artists and staff. YOUROPE is proud to present the toolset as part of its three-year project “Future-Fit Festivals” (3F). It is full of resources that can help festival makers create more inclusive and diverse festivals – for the audience, artists and their own team. Resources include guides, tests, checklists, interviews, databases, other toolkits, roadmaps, reports, games and action plans. Most were created by different expert organizations all across Europe and sometimes even beyond. The toolset is public and free to use for any festival or cultural event. Other contents were created by the project team, e.g., 13 stories of festivals and projects that have implemented measures for more inclusion and diversity. The team wrote these stories, so that festival makers can find inspiration and learn more about good-practices that they can replicate at their own festivals. 💛🖤 #yourope #festivals #europe #3f #futurefitfestivals #diversity #inclusion #takeastand https://lnkd.in/eb7tY9Di
