Our mission
Event Incubator exists to provide education, resources, and opportunities to new event producers and professionals.
The best way to learn this work is to do it. So we put people on real shows, with real crowds and real deadlines, and we back the organizers who are building something new. We are not an event company for hire. We exist to grow the people who make events happen.
Learn by doing. Crew a real show and leave with experience, portfolio pieces, and people who will vouch for you.

Get in touchDoor 01
Every show needs a crew, and every crew member leaves knowing more than when they walked in. Volunteers work alongside experienced producers on events Gainesville actually shows up for.
Door 02
Event Incubator supports organizing teams who are building their own events. We don't bid on jobs or sell production services. We help you do it yourself, and do it well.
We're also working to add direct financial support for new events.
Door 03
Every dollar goes back into the mission: training, equipment, and the programs that give new producers their first real shows. Sponsors get their name in front of the people building Gainesville's next events.
