Burning Man is growing year over year. A festival taking place in Aug/Sept that is miles of creative inspiration, camping, artist, and thought leaders in the Leave No Trace " Black Rock City." I recently read an article about the Director of Events for Burning Man speaking at conference - Very interesting! Fun Burning Man documentary for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0NdVn2O1WY
I had the extreme pleasure of working for 4 months at Sundance Film Festival in Park CIty, Utah. WOW! I met many people who had global Festival experience. I love festival work life. Sundance had wonderful green offices, friendly employees, and a team-focused environment. I would go back in a heartbeat!
Festival life has even inspired department stores to advertise "fest fashion." Fests are in! Bonnaroo, SXSW, Middle of the Map, Third Coast, Food&Wine. Here is an analysis of Coachella and what they get right.
Happy Festing!
