From Festival Organizer to Solution Builder
G'day! I'm Dylan Tovey, and I've been organizing festivals in Brisbane, Australia for over a decade. From intimate community gatherings to major events hosting up to 8,000 people, I've experienced every challenge that festival committees face.
Like many organizers, I started with spreadsheets, sticky notes, and countless late-night phone calls trying to coordinate vendors, track payments, and manage entertainment schedules. Sound familiar? I thought there had to be a better way.
Over the years, I developed these tools out of necessity. Every solution in Festival Helper was born from a real problem we faced during our festivals. The payment tracking system? Created after spending weeks chasing vendor payments. The entertainment scheduler? Built after a double-booking disaster that nearly ruined our main stage.
