Ever wonder what it takes to put on a comedy festival? The free Festival Producers Panel brings together performers and producers who have successfully built festivals to demystify the process, including: branding, budgeting, booking talent, securing venues, marketing, fundraising, sponsorships, submission processes, scheduling, tech coordination, volunteer management, and more.

After a moderated discussion, the panel will open up to audience Q&A, giving performers and students the opportunity to ask questions. Whether you're dreaming of launching a 4-day festival or scaling up a one-night-only event, we hope this panel will help offer some practical tips!
