What to expect
This flagship event brings together the rural touring community, artists, promoters, funders, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, learn, and connect. The conference provides a vibrant platform for collaboration, learning, and advocacy for rural and community touring.
Accommodation is included in the ticket again this year. We will be staying at the Donnington Grove Hotel, where the Conference will be based, and Chequers Hotel nearby.
