About MyFestBase

From the scene.
For the scene.

Festivals bring people together. But behind every successful festival there are organisation, staff, businesses, technology, communication and many decisions that often still happen in different places.

We're just getting ready!

MyFestBase® brings together what makes the festival world: people, businesses, organisers and service providers. On one central digital platform, new contacts, fitting opportunities and better collaboration emerge: for everyone who works in the festival industry, helps shape it or wants to make a difference.

And MyFestBase is not built from a distance. The platform combines real experience from festival operations with solid marketing, clear communication and in-house technical development.

Why MyFestBase?

The festival world thrives on experience, personal contacts and well-rehearsed routines. At the same time, there is often no central place where relevant information, offers and opportunities come together clearly.

This is exactly where MyFestBase comes in. We don't want to replace what works, but to complement it digitally where it makes sense. Processes should become simpler, offers more visible and the right people connected faster.

Not with solutions that miss the actual need, but step by step and close to the industry.

Founding team

Three perspectives. One solid base.

MyFestBase is run by a founding team of three who bring industry knowledge, brand development and technology together entirely in-house.

Vanessa Klopf

Managing Director, Market & Key Account Funfairs & Events

Vanessa knows funfairs and events from day-to-day operations. Since 2018 she has been planning and optimising staff deployments, leading teams on site and experiencing first-hand what matters behind the scenes. This gives her an understanding not only of the economic and organisational requirements, but also of the people, processes and challenges of the industry.

Her academic work examined the potential of a digital staff network for funfairs and folk festivals and laid the foundation for the positioning, product priorities and market entry of MyFestBase.

As key account for funfairs and events, Vanessa is the direct contact for funfair organisers and all festivals of this kind. Her experience and feedback from the field flow directly into the further development of MyFestBase.

Andreea Varga

Managing Director, Branding, Communication & Key Account Festivals

Andreea knows festivals from far more than marketing concepts. She has worked as a stagehand herself, run stalls and taken on responsibility in various roles on many different festival sites. That is how she knows how quickly requirements change on site, what matters when working together and which solutions really help in practice.

She combines this experience with a Master of Science in Marketing Management and her supporting role at Siemens Digital Industries. She also developed her own KPI in the field of search request analysis while focusing on Digital Marketing and Media in her bachelor's degree. During her semester abroad at California State University, Long Beach, she used the design thinking process to help local start-ups develop their online presence for their target groups.

At MyFestBase, Andreea is responsible for brand and communication and, as key account, is the direct contact for festivals.

Jean-Pierre Widerhold

Technical development & implementation

Jean-Pierre turns the idea behind MyFestBase into a working digital platform. As a shareholder, he is responsible for the technical development with Laravel, PHP, Vue.js and Inertia.js and connects the requirements from market and communication with their concrete implementation in the product.

His work creates the technical foundation for planning, developing and continuing new features directly within the team. Close coordination within the founding team keeps business, communication and technical decisions connected.

This means the core development expertise lies entirely with MyFestBase.

What unites us

Close to the festival world

We develop MyFestBase from our own real experience for events, businesses, teams and the people behind them.

Clear in communication

We want to make complex processes easier to understand and create a digital place where the festival world quickly finds its way around.

Independent in implementation

Market understanding, brand and technical development interlock directly with us. Decisions can be made internally and implemented independently without long detours.

Responsible in our use of technology

We develop data- and AI-supported applications within clear legal and ethical boundaries. After all, our platform should support you, not give you headaches.

Firmly connected to what festivals are all about.

MyFestBase stands for a digital festival world that is clearer, more accessible and finally connected.
