efc - European Festival Conference yourope presents
The 4th European Festival Conference
23 – 26 November, 2021
MasSalagros Eco Resort
https://www.massalagros.com/
(14)

Yourope already holds regular board and member meetings at various European industry events as well as organising yes group or go group seminars and workshops, but with so many important issues associated with running festival there was never enough time to cover all the key topics. The European Festival Conference aims to address that by offering an event fully dedicated to the interest of festiv

al promoters giving participants the time and space to discuss all the aspects of the festival business in a constructive and positive atmosphere. Besides a full conference program which is open for festivals from all over the world, there will be outdoor activities, cocktail receptions and dinners to create a special atmosphere of exchange and experience. The conference program will contain content, which is attractive for promoters, bookers, health & safety managers, marketing/sponsoring managers etc.

We're back from the wonderful Mas Salagros EcoResort and our 4th EFC. Thanks so much to everybody involved making this "the best three days of this year" (to quote an unnamed participant here). It was great to see some 50 participants from all over Europe in person, spending time together, exchanging and talking deeply about the future of our festivals. We experienced a great mix of keynotes, workshops, presentations, excursions as well as excellent food & drink.

Muchas gracias to our dear speakers, hosts and team members from Roskilde Festival, Ruisrock Festival, Primavera Sound, A Greener Festival, Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V., Höme - Für Festivals, Sound Diplomacy, Palau de la Música Catalana, , OpenAir St.Gallen - official and Yourope - The European Festival Association.

We all are aware that these are the most challenging times for the whole festival sector and we are in this together. Therefore it was a gift seeing the excellent teamwork, great creativity and enthusiastic interaction between you all.

We cannot wait to get together again. Stay safe and don't stop believin'!

The program of our 4th European Festival Conference is complete. From 23-26 November 2021 we once again present our conference fully dedicated to festivals.
See all sessions & events on http://europeanfestivalconference.com
It is our aim to bring people together and encourage exchange. In this special year and with this special EFC edition, we have decided to experience and work together in the group as much as possible. That is why we decided against a fragmented conference program and in favour of a limited number of workshops and sessions that allow everyone to collect as many impressions as possible from all participants. In addition we give you more time and room for direct personal exchange and prepare a cool environment to do so with our EFC networking excursions.

This next session is a premiere. In the EFC workshop “Creating the safe festival experience of the future” all of .festival.association’s working groups (YES Group - Youropean Event Safety Group, GO Group, EMAC Group and Take A Stand) collectively take you on a journey to create a vision for our future festivals.
After two festival seasons not happening due to health & safety reasons the mission for us in this session is to rethink the “safe festival experience” together with you choosing a holistic approach. To mention just a few questions we will ask: how can diversity and inclusion management at festivals encourage good behaviour? Can we improve our events’ communication to increase the feeling of safety? How are sustainability and safety linked and do changes towards climate goals have effects? How has the pandemic changed the perception and expectations of those involved - be it our teams, guests, artists, etc.?
We will start with a couple of inspirational inputs before diving deep into dedicated group work to jointly collect and create ideas of what festivals can achieve – on their own, but also together.

Next on our rundown of our sessions and events is the EFC networking excursion #2 that takes us to Barcelona for a special guided tour at Palau de la Música Catalana.
The Palau is an architectural jewel of Catalan Art Nouveau and the only concert venue in this style to be listed as a World Heritage Site by which today represents an essential landmark in the cultural and social life of Catalonia. Moreover it represents a symbolic emotional heritage for a whole people who identify with its history.
The Palau de la Música Catalana was built between 1905 and 1908 by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner as a home for the Orfeó Català, financed by popular subscription. The building is located in Sant Pere district, one of the most beautiful areas of Barcelona.

Together we visit an impressive and historical place of culture and beauty, which we are guaranteed not to leave without inspiration.

This impressive venture has been conducted by the team of Höme - Für Festivals - a young organisation for those who love, discover and create festivals. They commit towards ideas that make life behind the world’s mainstages easier and possibly change the festival industry for the better.
The survey has been part of their "Festival Playground" initiative which Höme created during the challenges of the pandemic with clear focus on our in dustry's future. The presentation will be held by Johannes Jacobi, co-founder of Höme and festival enthusiast himself.

Running down the highlights and sessions of EFC #4 should definitely include the probably most important events of the day for intimate talks and valuable networking: let's talk food!
Those who joined us two years ago in this magical place know about Restaurant gastronòmic 1497 the culinary nucleus of Mas Salagros EcoResort. The place's philosophy is based on eating what the land gives us, this is why the gastronomic offer changes according to the different seasons of the year.
The restaurant is truly unique, located in the heart of a nature reserve and serves Mediterranean cuisine made with organic, seasonal, local produce. In fact, some of the ingredients used come from their own gardens.

As the chef says: "We strive to ensure our diners enjoy a unique culinary experience that is healthy, tasty and 100% organic." Having enjoyed this experience in 2019 already we are really looking forward to share it again with you. Be excited about it!

Announcing this year's EFC we mentioned that we will just do a limited number of panels and sessions to give participants more time and room for direct personal exchange and prepare a cool environment to do so.
That's why the next stop on our EFC run down is a curated outdoor event. In the afternoon of conference day 1 we will start at our amazing venue Mas Salagros EcoResort and hike towards the hills and woods toward the Llebeig vineyard. We will be guided on this way with eventual views towards the Mediterranean sea and the city of Barcelona by Oriol Artigas, a local producer of natural wine.
Oriol will give us a guided tour through the vineyard which will completed by a tasting of a selection of his natural wines. We hope to create some inspiration for you from his passion and determination. This will be exciting!

Here's the next of our list of sessions & events confirmed for EFC (23-26 November at Mas Salagros EcoResort in Vallromanes/Barcelona):

"Value of Events" - We're excited to shine some light on this important issue from two different angles with two experts. On the one hand we welcome Azucena Micó (Global Head of Quality Assurance at Sound Diplomacy), who will be presenting a project worked on with the Barcelona City Council to develop a tailored plan to analyse the value of events locally in order to determine public investment. With the aim to encourage more public support for events and festivals, drive recovery and meet the Sustainable Development Goals, Sound Diplomacy has developed a framework to analyse the economic, social, culture and environment benefits events and festivals bring to communities, to determine how governments can best to invest in them.
On the other hand we are happy to present Andreas Groth Clausen. He is Head of Partnerships at Roskilde Festival and worked as main fundraiser at The Royal Danish Theatre before that. His main expertise is implementing brands in cultural institutions and increasing their relevance in the eyes of the fanbase and making the value of sponsorship tangible to increase the income cultural institutions earn from the private sector.

20/10/2021

From today we are running down our exciting program of EFC sessions and events you're about to experience at the beautiful Mas Salagros EcoResort from Nov 23-26 in Valromanes, just outside Barcelona.
For a start we are really looking forward to this year's
EFC keynote by Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V. co-founder Michael Fritz. He will talk about 15 years of social activism at festivals (and beyond) that helped providing fresh drinking water for more than 3,5 million people in need.
VcA is a prime example of achieving great things when many people contribute a little. Get inspired by a thoroughbred activist and probably the only person on the planet who has ever given Ed Sheeran a roll of toilet paper as a gift. He will surely tell you why.

We are delighted to invite you to our 4th European Festival Conference (EFC). After a year and a half with previously unimagined challenges it is finally time to meet in person again. We want to provide a pleasant setting with a limited number of participants in which we can talk to eachother in a safe environment about our personal and professional experiences and look to the future together. For this purpose we return to the Mas Salagros EcoResort in Vallromanes just outside Barcelona. As with our last edition in 2019, this extraordinary venue will enable us to have the best possible exchange on the most pressing topics with important results in the best atmosphere.

In the conference programme we will put great emphasis on making possible what has always defined YOUROPE, but could not happen lately due to obvious reasons - getting and spending valuable time together. To this end, we will expand the program in the area of joint curated outdoor & networking events and at the same time also offer a coherent and comprehensive panel and workshop schedule. The conference information will be updated with the appropriate access regulation and program details (focus sessions, speakers and formats) within the coming days and weeks.

In this session we take a look in the crystal ball and focus the "AUDIENCE OF THE FUTURE: Who are the consumers - how to reach them? What are their demands and how do we need to change?":
With our festivals we intentionally and unintentionally curate experiences and interactions. These include music, friendship, lifestyle activities, brands and different causes that tap into the emotions like belonging, happiness, love, inspiration and creativity, but also frustration, sadness and anxiety. Are we as organisers aware of this power? And does the audience think we understand them and their needs and expectations? Do the younger generations have different needs than the ones we already know as our audience? Do we understand the younger motivation or is there a need for changes?
In this session Linnéa Elisabeth Svensson (Greener Events Foundation) will divewith us into this topic and include both organisers and input from audience across Europe.

Dont miss the "EFC KEYNOTE INTERVIEW - Learning about event security and safety from parallel crowded events" presented by the YES Group (Yourope Event Safety Group):

As a Protective Security Professional Pete D. is involved in the management, command and deployment of significant fi****ms operations. He has planned and commanded deployments of National and International significance including the Royal Wedding 2018, two visits of President Donald Trump, Ceremonial events, complex high threat national investigations and/or protective security, Major Crime and high profile sporting and music events.

In this session he will speak with our host Prof. Chris Kemp (Mind Over Matter- MOM Consultancy) about the lessons that can be learned for festivals and events from such high profile events and how by applying such parallel learning events can be made safer for all of those involved.

We have to talk! About what? About "PROGRAMMING YOUR FESTIVAL - Changes in artist booking and developing side events at your festival". Why? This is why:

Seven figure fee is now the new normal with headliners and festivals are struggling with their programming budgets. What is the survival strategy when the big names are out of your reach? How does a festival meet the expectations the audience has and what are the unique selling points that make the tickets sell without having the #1 international megastars. How do you build the festival brand to be bigger than the line-up? Is it the arts, crafts and restaurants or the visual identity of the festival? The circus, theatre and stand-up or the influencers attending?

What else has changed in the booking process besides the fees? The offers are asked earlier and earlier and how does one predict what is the success of Billie Eilish in 2021? At the same time artists grow big faster than ever and tours are put up in a speed of light with sometimes just one song released online.

Where does one seek for the new talent nowadays? The classics are the showcase festivals such as ESNS, Reeperbahn Festival and SXSW, but does it really make sense anymore to seek talent from such events? What are the other ways to keep up with the trends and latest rising stars? How do the festival bookers find out who is hot and who is not? Who should you trust? The booking agents? The record labels? The other festival colleagues? The influencers?

And the last but definitely the thing you would least like to have an argument with the agents: billing, logo and font size. For real... what's up with the managers nowadays! This and a lot more will be discussed in the great EFC programming panel hosted by Mikko Niemelä (Ruisrock Festival) and Yourope's Secretary general Huber Christof (OpenAir St.Gallen - official)

We're happy and excited to have Pedro Albuquerque (Head of FC Porto International) and Tiago Gouveia (Head of Marketing at FC Porto) speaking at our EMAC Session No. 3: "MARKETING, SPONSORSHIP AND THE INTERNATIONAL BRAND BUILDING AT FC PORTO"
FC Porto has been a prominent part of European football for several decades now. The Portuguese giant works hard to maintain and develop its long lasting brand image. From a festival’s point of view it seems like a mighty task to fill a stadium each and every week, so let’s try to understand how they actually do it. Success on the football field is – of course – important, but definitely not the full story. So what exactly keeps FC Porto among the major brands of European sport? What are the main marketing strategies to support this long lasting success? At the second part of the presentation we will also take a close look at FC Porto’s sponsorship cooperations. How do they get their sponsors on board and which are their best cases? We hope to get many answers during these 90 minutes.

We're honoured to present the speaker of this year's EFC KEYNOTE! We're glad to welcome Mr. Tamas Szucs (Director for Culture and Creativity, European Commission, DG EAC) at the 3. EFC European Festival Conference.

Mr. Szucs will start the second conference day with a keynote, referring to the big picture (overall EU policy context, inter-institutional setting) noting that there are positive developments for the music sector. He will continue explaining the Commission’s approach to music and to the positive contribution of European festivals to the EU’s cultural policy.

We are very much looking forward to this for a great start into day #2! For the full program and registration please visit:

In our sessions "CHARGING EUROPE WITH POSITIVE ENERGY" on Fri Nov 22 we will open a whole new perspective:
European festivals bring together millions of young people. Our events are adventure parks of personal experience and broadening consciousness. Sure, people visit our events for fun and to escape from reality, but they take home so much more. Let’s take a close look at the human being behind the customer and consumer. In this session we will talk about the role we play in their personal development. Our festivals and philosophies are an important part of their youth and their lifestyles. If they‘re building parts of their own identity on the experience we offer them it incorporates a lot of responsibility for us. Let’s live up to that.

We are happy to welcome Fruzsina Szép (Lollapalooza Berlin) who will talk about the responsibility of festivals, Assoc. Prof. Dr.Özgehan Şenyuva (Middle East Technical University) who will tell us about the learning dimension of major events and Sebastian Fleiter (Atelier Fleiter/THE ELECTRIC HOTEL) who will shine some light from the perspective of an artist with a mission. The session is presented by Take A Stand and will be hosted by the initiative's ambassador Holger Jan Schmidt

We're thrilled about the second EMAC Group (European Marketing & Communications Group) session at 3. EFC European Festival Conference: INFLUENCER MARKETING FOR MUSIC FESTIVALS.
Like it or hate it, we all need to work with influencers these days to promote our events and reach the younger audience. But what exact ways can we chose from? Who’s the best kind of influencer for us and how can we maximize the benefits of our cooperation before, during and after the festival? Wunderkidz (www.wunderkidz.com) has been doing this for events like Lollapalooza Berlin, so their MD, Felicitas Cardenas Carbajal will be joining us to guide us through the jungle of influencer marketing. She will present some of the best and worst cases and we will also discuss different scenarios together with all participants of the session. Interaction is definitely welcome! The session is hosted by EMAC's own András Berta.

The afternoon of the first conference day will be dedicated to an exclusive workshop experience. The YES Group (Yourope Event Safety Group) presents "INCIDENT PLANNING - WORKSHOP AND LIVE FESTIVAL SCENARIO":

Challenges at events and festivals are an everyday occurrence and it is not just the threat of terrorism or of crowd disorder which may cause problems. A burst watermain, an outbreak of food poisoning or high winds and heavy rain can cause severe disruption. In this full group session, participants get the chance to work on a live festival scenario, choose courses of action and work with others in a team to make decisions, solve problems and provide solutions for three high level challenges. Working at an imaginary festival (based on a current one) you will be developing your knowledge and helping others to sort out real life issues.

The learnings from this workshop can be immediately taken back into the workplace and implemented. This highly interactive session will be hosted and facilitated by Prof. Chris Kemp (Mind Over Matter- MOM Consultancy), Henrik Bondo Nielsen (Roskilde Festival) and Mestka Andreas (OpenAir St.Gallen - official). It is not just about creating solutions, but finding out things about yourselves and the team around you as well as learning new and developing already present skills in a fun and high powered environment. There are no right and wrong answers and the environment has been created to enable participants to make mistakes in a safe environment. Don’t miss this fantastic chance to pit your wits against some interesting challenges!

On the second day of the 3. EFC European Festival Conference we will shed some light at one of the hottest topics of the festival and events' industry in our session "DOG EAT DOG - CHANGES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: IF THE INVESTOR RINGS TWICE".
The live music industry in the 21th century evolves into a new era. Business-wise and structual this development is just at the beginning. Nevertheless, the process of conversion already started latest time since concert companies went on to stock markets. However, the newest trend are new networks equipped with substantial financial capacities caused by external investments from the financial community. Remaining smaller and midsized concert companies are facing a new business situation in the competition for artists and audiences. Time to catch on with the new vocabulary with a specialist for "Mergers & Acquisations" about the meaning of "Due Dilligence" and "Private Equity"...
Join our host Manfred Tari (www.pop100.de) talking to Matthias Just (owner of Mayland AG Mergers & Acquisitions | www.mayland.de) about what's happening now and what can be expected from the future.

Talking Business in Magical Surroundings: European Festival Conference Returns

The European Festival Conference (EFC) returns for a third edition of panel discussions, keynote interviews, presentations and workshops, specifically tailored to the festival business. This year's edition takes place Nov. 20-23 at the beautiful Mas Salagros EcoResort in Vallromanes, 25 kilometers outside of Barcelona in Catalunya, Spain.

Organized by Europe's festival association Yourope, the sessions have been developed in close collaboration with Yourope's action groups, including the European Marketing and Communications Group (EMAC), Green Operations Group (GO Group), Take A Stand and Yourope Event Safety Group (YES Group).

The EMAC Group sessions tackle topics such as marketing, sponsorship and brand building, exemplified by the case of famous Portuguese football club FC Porto, whose Head of International Pedro Albuquerque and Head of Marketing Tiago Gouveia will be on site in Vallromanes to address EFC delegates in person.

EMAC Group will also explore the digital journey event goers embark on these days, which begins before entering an event and lasts until after they have long left the site. The question is: how can event organisers target them in the most efficient way?
