THE Conference for Festivals & Events

Bedazzle those boots and get ready to join us for educational breakout sessions from industry leaders, showcases from top performers, a chance to network at our Trade Show, and our annual Ovations! Award night recognizing the most innovative and successful events out there and those that help make them happen. 

Our spring conference is our biggest gathering for festival and event industry professionals. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to meet your peers from around the state while learning from experts. Plus, it’s a chance to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and connect with others in the industry. 

We hope you’ll join us along with event producers, sponsors, entertainers, volunteers, vendors and suppliers from across the state. Together, we can share information, resources, and contacts to make all our events more successful. We promise a rootin’, tootin’, boot-scootin’ good time!
