Ok, just got through reading a bunch about festival planning. There was a great document published by L.A. that had a ton of great information. Not that Denver is L.A., the purpose of doing a festival was throughout the document. Most of the document translates well to the Denver festival we are planning. Admittedly, I want the pan festival we do to knock the socks off Denver. Make it memorable for everyone. While I think the initial reason for doing it was the musicians, the more I think about it, I want the audience to be as much the focal point of the festival as the performers. I want to make sure we go beyond what I have seen at other festivals. Booths, food, and an occasional performer. Sometimes these are good, but other times kind of boring. I'd like to see more interaction opportunities for all attendees and performers.
Today, we meet with the volunteer coordinator for Denver ComicCon. I'll be interested to see how they planned and coordinated what could be the largest use of manpower at a festival - its volunteers. How do you keep them motivated and interested? How do you know what you'll need help with? These are all questions that we'll get answered today.
