    Establish consistency

    Work toward a dependable event calendar.

    Track: events held and guest feedback.
  2. 02

    Strengthen relationships

    Encourage return visits and local collaboration.

    Track: repeat participation, with appropriate consent.
  3. 03

    Develop partnerships

    Build a small number of deliverable, relevant partnerships.

    Track: agreed benefits delivered.
  4. 04

    Expand selectively

    Test new formats only when demand and capacity support them.

    Track: demand, feedback and operating capacity.
