We @AMpowermentEA will launch a report on Festivals at the end of March. Stay tuned! #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Extra extra from @muthoniDQ: leverage the internet to death. Use it a distribution Chanel that makes tour creative work available and findable by diverse audiences. #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Your festival paperwork should clearly tell your story without your presence. @raoulrugamba #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

3 pointers for festival creators : 1) Have a 🔥 show 2)Have a Booking Agent to find opportunities for your festival 3) No shortcut to network , especially with other festival creators #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Question : future of music in Kenya? Future is bright. Youth pushing love for Kenyan music. Older musicians doing mentoring and signing new voices. @muthoniDQ #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Keep accounts clean and up to date to attract and retain investors. @muthoniDQ #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Only guaranteed way to get sponsorship is to demonstrate value. @blanketsandwine gained more traction after their 1st year, then later got their 1st sponsor. Do nothing but build product 1ST. @muthoniDQ #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Question: How to get sponsorship and paper work needed by government.

Collaboration with international festivals which have a 50 year headstart is extremely valuable. They're usually happy to share skills. These partnerships are a priority for @blanketsandwine & @AfricaNouveau #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Within the region there is collaboration and discussions. @muthoniDQ #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Through @ke_British, @AfricaNouveau and @NyegeNyegeFest did peer to peer learning for about 3 years. #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Does working with other festivals offer value? #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Our research into Festivals and Creative Hubs as @AMpowermentEA has faced challenges ingetting data from creatives and creative entities. #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE

Appeal to African creatives to share figures and facts. #AMpowermentAtOngea #OngeaSummit #Ongea2020 #FestivalsKE
