What is the evolution of expectations from multiple generations in festival audiences? I am hosting a panel about the ever changing demands and how to adopt at International Festival Forum (IFF). Together with Ella McWilliam, Emily Anatole and Mika Christoffersen we will explore what changed, how did it change and why did it change? The objective is to identify some of the challenges and present potential solutions for the audience to take home. https://lnkd.in/e_r8yJga

Warning: this is not a conference for the built environment. If you come to Pattern Festival 2024 expecting a standard industry experience, you won’t get one. We aim to entertain, inform, inspire and surprise you. Our placemaking event is a festival, not a conference. We’ve deliberately chosen to call it that. What makes it a festival? We’ve got a varied lineup of guest speakers, panellists and presenters, many of whom you wouldn’t normally associate with the built environment. We want to move the dial, celebrate grassroots activity and put progressive placemaking firmly on the agenda. Why don’t you join us? Pattern Festival 2024 is on 19 June, at x+why, Victoria Embankment, Manchester. Tickets are on sale now. Limited availability. www.patternfest.com

Here is the video I create for Celebrating Mid -Autumn Festival!!!

Enjoy the great #vibe of Society 5.0 Festival all over again with this wonderful #aftermovie❤️❤️. And reconnect with the feeling of #agency that we can indeed (re)shape if, when and how we use #technology to drive #transformation through some nuggets of wisdom: Miriam Rasch: "All relations that we have are mediated by technologies. So, how we make up those technologies influences our relationships." Monika Jiang: "..the good thing about care and nurture is that we do not need external things to do that. We don't need technology, we don't need another app, we don't need a lot of money or time. It is something that we inately have." Arda Awais and Savena Surana: "One thing that we were really struck by when talking about transformation in the digital space was scale, and being completely okay with transformation being small." Maria Farrell: "The internet is something that we make every day. We can make a different form of internet. And when we do it collectively, it will transform not just the internet itself, but the entire social fabric. And for the better." See you again next year? 😉

The cancellation of Groovin the Moo highlights the challenges of hosting events in the current Australian market space. Despite being a beloved festival, GTM had to cancel due to insufficient ticket sales, a first in its 19-year history. This loss affects young Australians who lack exposure to big acts outside major cities. The festival's cancellation reflects a broader trend in the industry, with other high-profile events facing challenges and cancellations. Rising operational costs, changing audience behaviors post-COVID, and competition from international acts impact festival viability. In this environment, the support of businesses like Field Mining Services, Darymple Bay Coal Terminal, Mackay Regional Council, GE Maintenance Solutions, The Grazing Goat, Payne Print, and others is crucial for sustaining cultural events like Rhythm and the Reef in North Queensland. The commitment of these companies to the 2024 event demonstrates the importance of financial and in-kind donations in nurturing regional cultural development. Despite the obstacles, Rhythm and the Reef is steadfast in its mission to provide a vibrant and enriching experience for its attendees, showcasing local talent and contributing significantly to the local economy. And yes, we’re 100% returning for 2024
