Festival Planning? 5 Essential Factors to Hosting a Successful Boutique Festival
Festival season is here, lineups are being confirmed and there’s a flurry of volunteer applications as entrance tickets sell out. This year, for example, Glastonbury will host around 170,000 people (including staff and artists), making it the largest greenfield festival in the world. In its debut year, Glastonbury welcomed a modest 1,500 guests, demonstrating that even the giants have humble origins.
Perhaps it’s this success story that has inspired the burst of micro-festivals launching across the UK and globally in recent years. Either that, or seasoned festival-goers are just so fed up of battling the hordes of sweaty, muddy, smartphone-wielding teenagers in the queue for the ‘portaloo,’ that they’re deciding to do their own thing.
Creating your own festival isn’t that absurd, either. It takes a lot of work, bargaining and calling-in of favors, but it can certainly be done. If you’ve toyed with the idea of hosting a massive summer party, or happen to have a bit of land (or a spare castle) that you’re not sure what to do with, now is the perfect time to start preparations for a 2018 extravaganza. Grab your note taking app, and don’t forget these five crucial elements.

Listen to the Event Industry News podcast featuring Kerem Baran below, then read on for some more ways on how to improve events and the event management process.
HOW THE INTERNET OF THINGS BENEFITS EVENT MANAGEMENT
There’s an event app to cover almost each and every facet of the event lifecycle, and assisting technologies - like beacons, RFID readers, and so on - to further collect and crunch numbers and data for more efficiency. Data reporting, for example, is one such feature boosted by the Internet of Things that is key to determining current event efforts, and is an essential player in developing strategies for future events.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing event technologies from check-in to attendee tracking, cashless payments, and more. The “things” comprise everything from hardware, to software, to service, smart remotes and devices, cloud computing, data, mobile, visual, virtual, digital.
