About the 5-Minute Showcases & Feedback Sessions
Artists have an opportunity to showcase and receive feedback from our trainer team. Showcases are hugely popular and space is limited. Sign up when you register. There are two sessions each day of the workshop. We will notify those chosen to showcase at least 10 days prior to the event.
Showcases are no-tech/low tech affair. We will have a technician on hand to assist. More information will be sent to you when we confirm your participation.
