A new in-person event for 2024. Facilitated sessions for festival teams to debrief on their events and discuss issues and solutions. The purpose is to give AIF Festival Members an opportunity to meet with other festival members and engage in one or all of three facilitated sessions to help you pick through issues, opportunities, trends and thoughts about the main summer season gone, and work on improvements for 2025 and beyond.
