A   business   festival   gives   guests   room   to   choose.  

A compelling stage, a small conversation, an unexpected meeting between sessions. We connect programme, spatial design and live production so guests can find their own way into the festival.

When the festival format earns its complexity.

A festival makes sense when guests should find their own route through content, exhibits and conversations. Parallel activities need to offer clear choices and work together. An additional area earns its place when it serves a distinct purpose.

Working with Digital Hub Bonn, PIRATEx supported positioning, site planning, suppliers and delivery of the outdoor format. Weather and infrastructure were practical planning inputs.

How the work fits together

01

Plan the visitor journey

We establish who is coming, what guests should discover and where they can meet. Programme areas, breaks and movement are planned together.

02

Work with the site

Power, deliveries, weather, access, quiet spaces and safety requirements shape the concept. We identify responsible people and required checks early.

03

Coordinate parallel delivery

Stages, exhibitors, hospitality and staff need one operating schedule. During the event we coordinate the interfaces included in our scope.

Your team and ours

You bring the community, objectives and approvals. We develop the format and coordinate agreed production with the venue and specialist partners. Permits, safety services and suppliers need named owners and a defined budget. The proposal records the work, client inputs, approvals, external costs and handovers.

Prepare your own session decisions in the programme chapter of the Event Academy.

Tell us what you have in mind

Tell us who should come together and why a festival would serve them better than a conference. You do not need a confirmed site or date before the first conversation.
