At the fold., the mission is to build a strong, unified network for freelance professionals in festivals and live events. It’s a space built on genuine relationships, collaboration and shared knowledge – all with the aim of making freelance life less precarious and more sustainable.
That shared purpose is why this partnership makes sense. As the fold put it, “we believe in standing together – through connection, through growth, and through the passage of knowledge. That’s why we’re partnering with EventMasters, whose courses are led by seasoned professionals and built on real-world experience at accessible price points.”
For us at EventMasters, this partnership is about more than just training. As our founder Addi Merrill says, it’s about “creating real pathways – linking practical education with a community that drives the sector forward, so freelancers can access knowledge, connections and opportunities that make a long-term difference.”
Together, EventMasters and the fold are connecting education with community – helping freelancers strengthen skills, gain confidence and build careers that last. Members of the fold. will be able to access EventMasters courses across foundations and specialist masterclasses, all designed to empower freelance professionals at different stages of their journey.
We’re here to support freelancers on every step of that journey – building confidence, creating opportunities and shaping a stronger community for the future of live events.
