The event was an intimate salon in which the fourth wall wall broken down and the audience really got to ask questions, and dream up their own events. The workshop began even before the event began, as the speakers all sat in the audience and talked about past, present, and future events.

As the event began such subjects were Discussed as funding, venue finding, venue creating/ alternative venues, the relationship between performers and event planners, record keeping, and how an event begins with setting the date. Some lucky audience members got personal help planning there event. There was alot of talk about the importance of community and how some of the best ideas come from just sitting around joking and dreaming.

Finally, it was talked about the importance of saying "Thank you!" - so "Thank you!" to all that participated in this workshop and all the workshops.
