In short: The ultimate crash course in festival management! City of Sodertalje \nAmazing ideas to not only reinvent my events\, but also reinvent our town. Rural City of Wangaratta \nYou`re sharing so much practical knowledge and brilliant examples\, I got one A-HA moment after another. LOTS of useful ideas (and energy!) to bring back home. Hilmarfestivalen\, Norway \nI can honestly say that for me this was a great experience to learn from a true industry professional and get insights from events that attract people from all over the world. Paul was surely interested in providing us with as much knowledge as possible\, the right amount of fun and plenty of inspiration to get us all going on with our projects. Film Cloud \nThe Festival & Event Management Masterclass was one of the most useful courses I’ve ever attended\, with tons of practical advice and the chance to collaborate with festival organizers throughout the region. Paul led us through multiple exercises that produced some truly inspiring and innovative ideas.  Go Western Newfoundland \nThe course was highly skilled\, personal and interesting all the way through! I can highly recommend it – the time spent with Paul is spent really well!  Salaam Film & Dialogue \nI had the most wonderful experience. It’s great to go to a course that gives you tangible and useful information that you can go away and implement yourself. I highly recommend this Masterclass! Feast Festival \nAffable and highly knowledgeable\, Paul Gudgin has condensed 30 years of festivals industry know-how into two days of intensive learning\, offering advice on anything from grassroots to strategic aspects of developing festivals\, across all areas. Paul’s knowledge is second-to-none making this workshop a must-attend event for festival and arts workers at any stage of their careers. West Australian Music (WAM) \nThe course was well planned and insightful. Paul has loads of experience\, is confident in himself\, yet informal and easy to talk with\, and great at involving the participants. I would recommend the course both for learning and motivational purposes.  Nordland Music Festival \nIf you  have any questions about the Masterclass\, use the Contact Us button to send us an email. \n  \n\nSt Johns Circusfest\, Newfoundland
