Request to Host a Private Showcase
Anyone individual or organization can request to host a private showcase. Private showcases begin after official events on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings and end by 2:00 am. These showcases are held in designated hotel rooms at the Holiday Inn Owensboro Riverfront. As such, host WILL be allowed to supply food and beverages in their showcase room this year if they are so inclined!
Hosts and artists MUST be registered for the conference. SERFA is limiting the number of private showcase rooms to foster a community of listening and supporting each other. Additionally, SERFA is subsidizing the cost of the private showcase hotel rooms to keep the showcase hosting fee affordable at $50 for one night.
Initially, you may sign up for one night of hosting. You can let us know on the form if you are interested in hosting a second night. If we are able to accommodate that, we will reach out to you directly!
Volunteer
It takes a village to make the conference possible. Volunteers are needed before, during, and after the conference. If you are interested in contributing your time, energy, and talent, please complete this form.
