2026 GOALS
THE ASCENSION SERVICE
PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE ASCENSION SERVICE AND DELIVER A SUITE OF WEB BASED TOOLS FOR THE ASCENSION SERVICE TEAM INCLUDING; A USER FACING PORTAL THAT ALLOWS FOR MEMBERSHIP RETENTION, MERCH DISTRIBUTION AND DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE EXPERIENCE AND ITS VALUES.
SUPPORT THE ASCENSION SERVICE PERFORMANCE AT FEST 2026 AND HELP ESTABLISH THE ASCENSION SERVICE AS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF FEST'S COMMITMENT TO THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE. THE AUDIENCE AT FEST WILL BE THE AUDIENCE THAT WE KEEP TOP OF MIND AS WE BUILD OUT THESE COMPONENTS.
COMPLETE THE ASCENSION SERVICE ALBUM AND SEE IT THROUGH THE FINAL PHASES OF MIXING, MASTERING AND DEPLOYMENT AS PHYSICAL MERCHANDISE.
MY FOCUS ON THE ASCENSION SERVICE WILL WIND DOWN AFTER FEST 2026 IN AUGUST.
