Festival conference resumes in Barcelona, Europe
European Festival Conference Returns to Barcelona After a Two-Year Hiatus
The European Festival Conference (EFC), a renowned event for live music industry professionals, is set to return to Barcelona, Spain, from November 23rd to the 26th, 2022. This marks the end of a two-year absence due to the ongoing pandemic.
The conference will take place at the Mas Salagros EcoResort in Vallromanes, a serene location 15 miles outside of Barcelona. The EFC is organized by several industry associations, including the Green Operations Group (GO Group), Yourope Event Safety Group (YES Group), and the European Marketing and Communications Group (EMAC).
The EFC will address a range of topics relevant to the current landscape, such as post-pandemic challenges, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, weather, and insurance. One of the keynote speakers is Michael Fritz, co-founder of Viva con Agua de St.Pauli, who will discuss 15 years of social activism at festivals and the impact it has had on providing fresh drinking water to nearly 3.5 million people in need.
Other notable speakers include Claire O'Neill from A Greener Festival, Marta Pallares from Primavera Sound, Mikko Niemelä from Ruisrock Festival, Henrik Nielsen and Andreas Groth Clausen from Roskilde Festival, and Johannes Jacobi from Für Festivals. Johannes Jacobi will be answering questions regarding clauses, annexes, and different insurances at the conference.
The EFC promises to be an engaging event, featuring workshops, seminars, outdoor activities, networking excursions, and a variety of speakers. For those interested, more information and registration can be found by clicking the provided link.
