EXIT Festival and GO Group are proud to announce the first „GO Group Workshop for eastern European Festivals“ taking place during this year’s EXIT Festival. We offer this interactive, open and communicative workshop format to stimulate exchange, cooperation and inspiration – between event organizers, suppliers and all other parties involved in an event’s organisation.
