Our friends over at gigmit.com have written a great article about Showcase Festivals and how to approach them.
No, there are no guarantees - but there are things you can do to increase the chances of hooking up with music industry people.
Our PRO TIP is to be as prepared as you possibly can be; Check out the list of delegates who will attend the festival. Are there any people on there that you'd really like to interact with? Email them, introduce yourself, invite them to come watch you play or try to set up a meeting with them on site.
The more you interact - the more people will see you.
It's a good idea to be available and on site for all days, to play as many shows as you possibly can to create a buzz, as well as attending the conference & the industry mingles.
Remember - No one likes spam. When you're approaching someone, do it in a nice way & use your common sense.
