What are the most challenging moments in preparing for Intervals there are: 1. Start of preparing for a new festival when there's a fear of a "blank slate," and we need to partially rebuild the team. 2. About 3 months before the festival when finalizing the festival program can be a challenging negotiation. 3. Of course, about 2 weeks before the festival when it seems like everything has been accounted for and prepared, but unexpected problems, loose ends, and deadline delays keep cropping up, and you have to fearlessly handle them on the spot without unnecessary emotions. (this is just a little more reflection on the past festival)

An impart report we had the pleasure of working on!

On June 26th, Reset! network will be having its last talk in Brussels before we go on hiatus for the summer. Another touchy topic : concentration in the cultural sector. To make it short, when you go to a couple of concerts or mega festivals this summer, the chances that the same companies own these events are pretty high. Why? Because, only a handful companies own the major festivals in Europe and in the world : https://lnkd.in/eUM8QE_7 Why does it matter? It's a free market, right? Well, we'll learn about the economic implication of this concentration and what the future holds for artists, festival-goers and independent festivals. We'll talk about what can be done to avoid such concentration. That's what we try to do at Reset! network. Come and listen to the panel, there's also going to be a Q/A session and drinks. See you there! Grab your seat here : http://tiny.cc/yn7gyz
