Learn how they built a festival model focused on things that CAN be done for the community in the virtual space and within their neighborhoods rather than what can't be done in the physical space in downtown settings. The Session will outline major decisions, communications strategy and specific virtual events that emerged.

2020 IFEA WORLD FESTIVAL & EVENT CITY AWARD PROGRAM MOVED TO 2021
The IFEA World Festival & Event City Award recognizes those cities and markets that have successfully provided an environment conducive to successful Festivals and Events. During this COVID-19 Pandemic, cities across the globe have been going above and beyond to not only support their Festival & Event community, but their entire community, more than ever. We absolutely want to recognize all the efforts that cities have made to support the Festivals & Events within their communities during this time. But we also understand that dedicated time and resources may not be readily available to put entries together for the 2020 IFEA World Festival & Event City Award, and if there is extra time and resources, we recognize those resources may need to be directed towards efforts to support their own organization, city and community. So, for now, we push pause on the 2020 IFEA World Festival & Event City Award Program and look forward to celebrating with you next year with the 2021 IFEA World Festival & Event City Award Program!
