UAFest mentoringFrom a question to dated actions

Bringthe plan.Leave withdated actions.

Mentoring on UAFest is a record from the first message. A festival team asks, an organizer who has run a festival reviews, and every agreement lands in Festival OS as a task with an owner and a due date.

Mentoring is one organizer on the other end of a call, reachable before a decision has to be made rather than after it went wrong.

One edition, six conversations

Checkpoints sit on the same day scale as your plan. The festival day is the zero point.

  2. REVIEWPlan reviewYour plan, roles and deadlines against a playbook.
  3. T-60Check-inVolunteers, sponsors and program: what is still open.
  4. T-14Check-inOwners for every critical item, documents verified.

  6. T+14PostmortemWhat happened, what to keep, what the next edition starts with.

Intake session

Five questions open every mentoring case

These are the questions the Lanark County team prepared for a first conversation with a festival. Answers go into the request, so the first call starts with your context.

  1. When and where is your next event?
  2. What do you use today in place of a website?
  3. Who on the team will own the website and applications?
  4. How do you gather volunteers, vendors and sponsors today?
  5. Do you apply for grants, and do you need reach figures for them?
