Next week, I'll be packing a bag and heading northwards for the EFA Atelier for Festival Managers.

It is an incredible gathering of 51 festival makers (producers, directors, managers, programmers, etc) from 30 countries in a seven day residency with some world class mentors, including Robyn Archer, Jonathan Mills and Mark Ball. You can see more about the event here: http://www.efa-aef.eu/en/activities/atelier/edinburgh/ 

During the week, I and the others attending will be using the hashtag #AtelierEdinburgh so you can check in as to what we're up to via that. And I'll be sure to post again here on my return. I do hope I'll come back with even more energy, contacts and ideas!

I've been funded by Arts Council of Wales to cover my costs to attend and am grateful to them for their support.
