Over our nearly 40 years, the annual Pride Bands Alliance conferences have grown and evolved, becoming a highlight of the year for many of our members. As we approach our anniversary, we have a chance to take a broader look at our conferences and chart their future into Pride Bands’ next decade. The Pride Bands Alliance Conference Oversight Committee invites you to join in a discussion as we brainstorm the future of conferences. Some topics for discussion include:
- What new elements would you like to see at conferences?
- How can hosting a conference become more accessible to bands of different sizes?
- How can we adjust scheduling and accommodate even more participants?
- What should the balance of work be between the Pride Bands Alliance and the host organization?
- Could an event management company assist in producing conferences?
- Could we move some of the business elements of the conference to other times to allow more time to enjoy the conference itself?
