REKŪRAI CEO
Aurimas Kamantauskas
As event organisers, we are responsible for the evolution of the events, the new concepts, forms, content and the message that we convey to the audience through our creative solutions. It is the host of the event whose talent will determine how our message is conveyed and what the audience will take home with them. So every client or event organiser is looking for the best host who will do the job most impressively. Of course, alongside quality there is also the need for freshness. So this talent competition for event MCs is a very important part of the REVOLUTION Festival.
By organising the biggest summit for event organisers, I want to bring together innovative creators, trendsetters and experts to share their insights. It is important to create a dialogue, to gather relevant panel discussions, to review the best event ideas and to reward the best event organisers with the best event hosts.
So I look forward to welcoming talented event hosts from all over the world to Vilnius – to introduce themselves, to gain valuable cross-country experience and to showcase the main heroes and events of the REVOLUTION Ideas & Trends Festival. You are more than welcome to us help connect with your audience and shape the spread of the REVOLUTION message.
