We’ve certainly seen some changes over the last 12 months, haven’t we? From political change
to social change. Changing places, changing minds, changing hearts. Change for the better;
change for the worse; on a big or a small scale, and everything in between. The world around us
is constantly undergoing change. Change is also a major thread that runs through the histories
we share.
In 2021, the History Festival is exploring the theme of ‘change’. We invite event organisers to
plan events around this idea in any way you choose. Here are some ideas to spark your thinking:
• Changemakers: people, organisations or movements that have pushed for or inspired
change.
• Impacts of political, social, cultural, economic, environmental or technological changes.
• Turning points: moments of change.
• Continuity: what hasn’t changed and why?
Sub-themes will be selected and promoted depending upon the registrations received.

Hybrid Events
Hybrid events are those that combine live and digital elements. They can help you
accommodate a wide range of needs and can significantly enlarge your audience.
• Consider streaming your live event online for the best of both worlds.
• Recording a live-streamed event gives you an experience you can share again on-
line. Or simply watch it again to inform your future event planning.
• Attendees get to choose the experience they feel most comfortable with and no
one gets left out.
HISTORYFESTIVAL.SA.GOV.AU | 08.8203.9888 | historyfestival@history.sa.gov.au 13South Aust ralia’s H istor y Fest ival 2021 LET’S GET PLANNING Top five event planning considerations Audience-Who is your event for? Identifying a target audience can help you shape your event and work out the best communications channels to reach them. Timing-Determine what else is happening at the same time as your event, e.g., Mother’s Day or local events. You may choose to avoid those dates or use them to your advantage. Collaboration-Why not join forces and share resourc- es with other groups or organisations in your commu- nity? Think about who else’s goals and audiences overlap with yours. Coordination-Reach out to other organisations in your area and take advantage of cross-promotional opportunities. Consider grouping your events to help visitors make it a big day out. Content-The History Festival is a great time to experiment with a new idea or remix a regular activity. Look for interesting and compelling stories. Offer an exclusive behind- the-scenes glimpse of places not usually open to the public.

INSIGHTS

assistance of Adelaide market research firm Square Holes. The survey and focus group responses
