This series, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and the NC Association of Festivals & Events, was designed to tackle priority topics for festival and event organizers. Each week, industry experts dived into a specific topic identified as a priority in a survey of North Carolina festival and event organizers.

Each webinar session had an expert-led informational presentation, followed by time for group discussions and questions. Additionally, interested participants will have the opportunity to stick around after the session’s completion for 1:1 chats with the presenters and the UPLIFT team.
