The Fair featured in the press again this week, following our takeover of Stage Three at the Night Time Economy Summit in Manchester on Friday.
The event, hosted by the Night Time Industries Association, invited over 1,500 industry professionals to come and listen to discussions about topics spanning across the sector at at the iconic Freight Island in Manchester on 8th and 9th of February.
Over 200 speakers industry leaders, experts, and visionaries featured on the two-day schedule – exploring and celebrating the significance of the Night Time Economy.
As part of our ongoing contribution to the festival and events sector, The Fair programmes six panels of discussion covering a broad range of topics relating to festivals and the night time economy.
Thanks to the collective efforts of NTIA, The Fair, and multiple other organisations involved (Defected Records, VibeLab, Skiddle and Ticketmaster to name a few) the third edition of the NTE Summit was a resounding success.
The Fair also launched ‘It Takes A Village’: a behind-the-scenes documentary highlighting challenges faced across the industry, and why the events sector deserves further support.
An article on Festival Insights this week read: “The Fair, one of the largest independent festival production agencies in the UK assembled some of the industry’s best minds to tackle the biggest challenges being faced across the sector right now – from rising costs to dealing with disasters and changing audience behaviours with a host of leading experts including; Fran Martin (Head of Live FRUKT), Jay Taylor (Music Venues Trust), Lauren Down (MD End of the Road Festival), Mike Grieve (MD Subclub), Rory Palmer Rowe (Mustard Media), Phoebe Roberts (Attitude is Everything).”
