We are HordeFest, an education platform dedicated to demystifying event and festival organization. We believe that practical, accessible knowledge is the key to creating memorable and successful experiences.
Empower everyone interested in entering the events industry with practical knowledge, from initial logistics to final management, making planning accessible and achievable.
We value applied knowledge, collaboration, and attention to detail. We believe the strength of a "horde" united by a common goal is what builds the best events.
We combine the contagious energy of a festival with the meticulousness of planning. We are passionate, organized, and focused on every step of the process.
Unlike agencies or consultancies, our core is purely educational. We don't sell services, we share the *know-how* so you can build your own path.
The story of HordeFest began in 2018, not in an office, but in the midst of the creative chaos of a local festival. The founders, passionate about creating memorable experiences, realized that the knowledge needed to organize successful events was fragmented and hard to access. They decided to turn that passion into a mission: to democratize access to practical knowledge about event and festival organization.
We started with in-person workshops in Lisbon, sharing lessons on logistics, planning, and audience engagement. The demand was so great that in 2020, we made the leap to digital, launching our online course platform. Today, we have already helped hundreds of aspiring individuals plan their first events, from small community gatherings to cultural festivals. Every step of this journey has reinforced our commitment: to provide clear, accessible, and real-world-focused education.
