Festival Congress Wrap Up and Thank You’s

25 Nov 2015

The second annual Festival Congress returned to Cardiff again earlier this month and was also sold out again!

We had a wonderful two days of conference panels, presentations, workshops and quick-fire talks along with a fun evening at the Festival Congress awards in the middle.

We also launched two campaigns with The MU – ‘The Fair Play For Festivals‘ emerging artists agreement and ‘Access Starts Online’ with Attitude Is Everything.

You can read about the awards evening and winners here and catch up on the whole event through Storify here or check out the in depth report from God Is In The TV Zine here.
