We have given over the perception of our events and businesses to Influencers instead of being in charge of our own narrative. We have been talking about affordability, pricing, and will keep our Fairs viable for several years. Now WE are in search of ideas, experiments, solutions, and collaborations that only WE can create and agree on together.

In this Town Hall session, attendees are going to share their specific goals, practices, and ideas in five minutes. A short Q&A will follow, and we will respond “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” It will be fast, fun, and thought-provoking. Don’t miss it!
