A good knowledge festival shares knowledge and creates connection. Make sure there is a strong theme that gives direction to all sessions. Choose speakers who provoke and are practical, with usable insights rather than theoretical stories.
Make room for informal contact: short breaks work better than one long lunch break. Use interactive formats such as round-table discussions or workshops alongside plenary presentations. And don't forget the aftercare: share a summary and make connections possible. Live Impact organises knowledge festivals where the experience reinforces the content.
