Meeting between programmers and festival professionals in order to share experiences and challenges around audienc-es- engagement and development: how to increase audiences, strategies to foster loyalty, is it one audience or is it fragmented, how to build new ways of mediation. These are some of the angles in which the encounter will take place.
