#2020stories – Alex Bickers, May Day and Canada Day 2020
So what does an expert Live Events Producer do when festivals are cancelled? They rally to produce the best virtual festival that he can! I sat down recently with Alex Bickers of Reveal Events Group to chat about his recent May Day Festival and Canada Day Festival – both brought online due to COVID19.
Alex is a creative at heart, and he leaned on his creativity (and his strong relationships with partners) to create one one, but TWO major community festivals in a virtual environment.
Take a listen to my 15-minute full-length interview with Alex Bickers where he discusses:
- the decision-making process to save an event with a 95-year history
- budgeting considerations for organizations when moving virtual
- the learning curve to implement a live broadcast
- space considerations
- safety considerations with AV and entertainment
- importance of a safety plan
- the partnerships that make this all happen!
- advice to help planners with moving forward
