As the dance music industry grows and grows, Katie digs deep into the lives of DJs, producers, managers, tour managers, publicists, club owners, label managers, promoters... (basically all of the people who get asked for guestlist) to find out how they started out, challenges they’ve come across, achievements, opinions, goals and, of course, all of the exciting stories that they’ve made along the way... And there's definitely some good ones out there.
Welcome back to the podcast! This week I am joined by Rosanne Janmaat who is the COO of ID&T, a Dutch company that has been running since 1992, organizing some of the biggest events in dance music such as Awakenings, Sensation, Mystryland and many many as well as being the co-founders of Tomorrowland. Recently they organized a Fieldlab test festival in the Netherlands to investigate how events with an increased visitor capacity can take place safely and responsibly during the pandemic. We talk all about how the test went, how it worked and what Rosanne thinks are the next steps for large events to be able to happen again soon. Rosanne became COO of ID&T at the start of 2021, so we also talk about how she found stepping into such a big role at such a difficult time for the entertainment industry.
