FestForward l Fess Parker Santa Barbara, CA l November 22-24, 2015

The Recipe: One part music + one part film + one part food & wine + one part technology. Stir it up for a fun-filled mentally invigorating three day professionally enhancing experience with hundreds of festivals & industry insiders attending.

We’re taking all the best components of an industry conference and shaking it up! FestForward is a convergence of music/film/food/wine/beer festivals for three days of brainstorming, networking, disrupting, coalescing, agreeing, collaborating, competing & hugging it out! There will be inspirational industry panels, discussions, networking, a tech hackathon, a sponsor pitch contest, a wine and beer tasting, art installations, live performances in music + dance + poetry + cooking, memorable special events, sponsorship prizes and industry awards at the Best of The Fests Awards Brunch.

FestForward features thought leaders from all disciplines, unique networking experiences and educational resources in a relaxed yet elegant setting. Attendees and sponsors will leave inspired with solutions, contacts, new business and valuable insights and resources. We bring together the players.

We connect the dots and the dot-coms.

AboutFest co-founders Laurie Kirby and Stuart MacNaught are seasoned professionals in the areas of conference and event planning, festival production, legal affairs, sales and marketing with Fortune 500 companies & renowned festivals.
