Promoting FOCE
As a speaker for the festival, we ask that you shout about your involvement as much as we are!! The link here is to access a zip. folder for the speaker asset pack providing social banners that can be used to promote your session/ attendance. When posting across social channels, please tag the festival and use the hashtag, #FOCE23 in your posts so we can show these some love and reshare them.
A reminder that we are also asking all speakers to provide a video answering the question, ‘what does circularity mean to you?’. If you haven’t already provided a video, please feel free to send one over (max 40 secs.) in an MP4 format. A member of our team can also arrange a quick Teams call to assist in recording.
