Recorded Webinar | Festival Presenting: Telling Your Story

Competition for audience as well as funding is increasing. How do you make the case for your event? What tells a compelling story and how do you communicate your message? A benefit to this approach is that you gain deeper loyalty from your audience through communicating that you care about their experience.

  • How to gather information from your audience that tells more than the economic impact.
  • How to best communicate what you offer.
