The Festival Staffing Problem Nobody's Saying Out Loud

Send us Fan Mail How to run festivals, community events, and event production successfully? Don't fall victim to running your business with a system held together by spreadsheets, QuickBooks, Google Forms, and a prayer.This week, I'm back with Cat McDevitt, from Eventeny, and we got into the festival operations conversation I've been wanting to have. Not the highlight reel. The real picture — the Frankenstein systems, the volunteer data that will shock you, the vendors who are quietly deciding you're a reputational risk, and what the festivals that are actually winning are doing differently.If you organize festivals, produce community events, or have ever thought about scaling into that space — this one is for you.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━RESOURCES + LINKS━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━→ Check out Eventeny (affiliate link): https://meetings.hubspot.com/cat-mcde...→ Book a free demo with Eventeny: https://meetings.hubspot.com/cat-mcde...→ Follow Eventeny on Instagram: @eventeny→ Grab Jese's free After-Yes Checklist: https://chipper-creator-3415.kit.com/...━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT CAT MCDEVITT━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Cat McDevitt is the CMO at Eventeny — an all-in-one event management platform built for festival and large-scale event organizers.
