Today on the podcast i'm speaking to one of this years esteemed speakers in elrow's creative director Jo Vidler.  From her background managing some of the UK’s most innovative multi day festivals to her position today as the creative driving force behind the crazy, colourful world of elrow, Jo Vidler has been responsible for some of the world’s most artistic and ambitious events. After achieving a degree in Art & Event Production at Arts University Bournemouth, she started her illustrious career in events working on music programming for Lost Vagueness (better known as Shangri-La) at Glastonbury where she was managing the logistics of over 400 people in and out of the festival, as well as at other London festivals. Following this, she became a Creative Producer for the pioneering Secret Garden Party, co-organising the event from 2006 to 2013. It was during this time that she also embarked on her next venture and co-founded Wilderness Festival where she was the Co-Creative Director & board member until 2016. Finally in 2016, elrow, the famous immersive party promoter, received investment to scale the company globally and therefore approached Jo to creatively lead the charge as they take over the world. This is where she currently continues her life’s work of spreading joy through the means of festivals and event experiences across the globe. In this podcast, I speak to her about elrow, the process of putting on a whole theme from start to finish and her own background.  For more information on IMS College - https://www.internationalmusicsummit.com/college In this podcast i have a brand new microphone from Sudotack - It's a USB Podcast PC Microphone, Professional 96KHZ/24Bit Studio Cardioid Condenser Mic Kit with Sound Card Desktop Stand Shock Mount Pop Filter, for Skype Youtuber Gaming Recording - https://amzn.to/2ZCiGsE Follow Grahame Farmer: Facebook: https://goo.gl/Xy6oD7 Instagram: https://goo.gl/HEfUMr iTunes Podcast: http://apple.co/thedailyboostpod YouTube: https://goo.gl/3JmFbF Get Hypeddit: https://goo.gl/wKJwdD Join our DJ Tips Broadcast: http://bit.ly/gftelegram Learn to Produce: http://bit.ly/educationbass Loops: http://bit.ly/2Z1AIVQ Plugins: http://bit.ly/2Z3wnS7
