Showcasing Innovation at festivals and events, presented by City of Amsterdam
Closed Session in Dutch. Please note that spaces are limited, and applicants will be reviewed to ensure a focused and high-level discussion. This session is intended for industry experts with knowledge in the field. If you feel your expertise and insights could significantly contribute to the conversation, please apply for participation here.
The Innovation Team of the City of Amsterdam is organizing a session specifically aimed at inspiring by showcasing practical examples that highlight the possibilities, opportunities, and lessons from the festival and event industry. And which parallels do we see with the work of civil servants, that could help them in their day to day work?
During this inspiration session, the focus will be on learning from real-world examples in the festival and event industry. What are some of the good examples, what lessons can we learn, and what opportunities do they offer for the city?
