Save your spot at the Easol Showcase: Festivals Edition

Join us for our biggest event of the year as we unveil our all-new toolkit designed to power festival organisers.

Calling all festival organisers, creators and promoters

We’re re-emerging from the most monumental shock our industry has ever experienced. While it’s great to see festivals come back after two years of postponements, we’ve returned to an extremely challenging environment, clouded by a perfect storm.

Between rising costs within the supply chain, labour shortages due to the pandemic and cost of living crises affecting sales, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for many of us to run profitable festivals. These problems are made worse by old and outdated systems that festival organisers, creators and promoters are forced into using. Festivals are weathering the storm with crumbling infrastructure.

But these challenges present an opportunity — an opportunity for our industry to rise up and reinvent itself.

Introducing the Easol Showcase: Festivals Edition

We’re excited to launch a new all-in-one toolkit to power the revival of the festival industry. We’ll be unveiling this, along with strategies to grow your festival, stories from the world’s leading festival organisers and more, at our Easol Showcase: Festivals Edition event on September 22, 5PM UTC+1.

Save your spot and get ready for the rebirth of the festival industry.

Discover the new way to sell festivals

We researched, we listened, we learnt, we built and now… we’re sharing. We’ve put together a showcase that looks forward and reimagines the way we sell festivals — a toolkit that empowers creators of all sizes to take back control and increase revenue.

Here's what to expect at the showcase...
