The network

Ukrainian festivals run in many countries, each one solving the same problems alone. UAFest.com is the shared infrastructure and the thread between them.

After approval

What an approved festival receives.

One account opens four working parts. Each part is shared infrastructure, so every improvement reaches every festival on the platform.

  1. 01

    Website

    A festival site on its own address: program, location, and application forms for vendors, performers, volunteers and sponsors.

    Available in preview
  2. 02

    Festival OS

    One workspace for applications, owners, tasks, documents, event-day check-in and funding.

    Available in preview
  3. 03

    Playbooks

    Step-by-step guides for sponsor outreach, vendor intake, volunteer shifts and event day, each ending in a concrete action.

    Mentors

    A person to call when a decision is hard: permits, budget, sponsors, program, the week before the festival.

    In development
Inside Festival OS

The workspace a festival gets on day one.

One account, six of its screens. Everything shown is the demo workspace the product ships with, so these are example records rather than any festival's real ones.

Mentoring

Hard questions go to people who have answered them.

The organizers who built UAFest Lanark County share what worked for them: how to plan the season, find sponsors, run volunteers and get through event day.

Built at UAFest Lanark County

The platform started as the tools of one real festival.

UAFest.com grew out of the website, CRM and checklists the Lanark County team used to run its own festival in Ontario, Canada. The facts below are published on uafest.ca.
