Hey there, I'm Steve, from Resonance. I'm here to spill the beans on why we took the plunge and dived headfirst into organising a mind-blowing "festival of ideas" in our charming twin towns, Ballina and Killaloe. Picture this: I was strolling around town with a friend, when we got to chatting about what gets our creative juices flowing. And then it hit us—what if we could gather a bunch of awe-inspiring speakers and musicians in our cosy little community for a mind-expanding "festival of ideas"?
