AIF Launch Festival Congress in Cardiff
The Association Of Independent Festivals (AIF) has announced a new annual flagship event called The Festival Congress. The two-day event will take place in various venues across Cardiff, Wales on 17th and 18th October this year and will include conferences, workshops, masterclasses, awards, showcase gigs from emerging artists and what is expected to be the biggest celebration of independent festivals to ever take place.
Speakers confirmed so far include Artistic Director of the Southbank Jude Kelly and Glastonbury’s Martin Elbourne alongside AIF Co-Founder Rob Da Bank and John Rostron, Co-Founder of Swn Festival.
Rob Da Bank said: “Wotcha Wales! Everyone at AIF HQ is buzzing about bringing The Festival Congress to Cardiff, a city that knows how to work hard and then party, just like us lot. I really hope that it will become a key calendar event for the whole festival industry for many years to come and I look forward to being in the same place as all the best independent festivals in the UK”.
The AIF expects up to 400 people to attend the event, including festival promoters, crew and suppliers from all over the UK. The congress is also open to students and anyone aspiring to work in the festival and events industry.
