Hospitality, stage, guest care and the Ashtamudi clean-up. Meet the speakers, learn how a festival runs, and be part of the story from the inside.

- Stage
- Help sessions run on time: seating, microphones, speaker cues and the audience queue.
- Guest care
- Look after speakers and guests, from their arrival to the green room.
- Ashtamudi clean-up
- One morning on the shore with the festival, to keep the waters alive.
Exhibit
Set up on the
shore.
