Departure Festival + Conference Co-founder Kevin Barton

About this episode

Kevin Barton discusses the upcoming Departure Festival + Conference and its significance in the media landscape.

Some of the most influential voices in music, film, TV and media will gather in Toronto, May 4-10, as Departure Festival + Conference gears up for its second annual event. We welcome festival co-founder Kevin Barton to this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to tease this year's lineup and the event's evolution, including why the festival is much more than Canadian Music Week "reimagined."
