BAFA provides a year-round calendar of events including regional and small-scale discussion based forums, job specific seminars, the annual BAFA Conference together with our specialist conference for students and recent graduates A Festival Career. These provide the opportunity for members to meet and share ideas with industry experts.
We hope you and your team can join us in November for the annual BAFA Conference for Festivals, taking place at Bristol Beacon from 11am on Monday 18 November until 3pm on Tuesday 19 November.
We’re looking forward to discussing the results of our Festivals Mean Business sector-wide research with you, and to talking about how we can turn the results into positive actions both for festivals and the whole sector.
We’ll have panels, roundtable discussions and workshops, and plenty of time for networking and discussions, as well as opportunities to look around Beacon, formerly Colston Hall, which opened at the end of last year after an ambitious transformation.
Being a member of BAFA offers access to the UK’s leading arts festivals, and an invaluable opportunity to build a strong network of professional contacts across the breadth of the festivals sector.
Our members range from volunteer-run organisations to large, well-established festivals, and we also have special memberships available for universities and associate members.
