•    Shaping a Forward-Thinking Programme: Collaborating to create a festival agenda that tackles both current and future industry challenges, making sure that we stay ahead of the curve and deliver actionable insights.


•    Amplifying the Event: Leveraging their professional networks to boost visibility and promote the festival within their community, helping us reach a wider audience and elevate the conversation around the themes that matter most.
