Pink Bows Foundation Partners With FestForums

Pink Bows Foundation co-founders Michelle and Ty Dubiski will be speaking at FestForums, appearing publicly together for the first time, to commemorate their shining light Madison Dubiski, and tell how they turned pain into purpose, at the 10th FestForums Conference, Santa Barbara, Feb 3-5, 2027.

The opening remarks will give personal insights about the impact of the Astroworld Festival tragedy, on November 5th, 2021, when Madison Dubiski lost her life, along with nine other young people, when over 300 fans were injured.

The Pink Bows Foundation supported Dr Mark Hamilton and Steve Allen to pioneer the first, and only, internationally accredited Showstop Procedure training in 2025. This Showstop protocol is now an established global standard.

Over 1,000 safety professionals have been trained to date, making a positive impact on the safety of over 80 million music fans.

The organizers of FestForums stated that they are “proud to offer delegates the opportunity to participate in the four-hour APL Showstop Procedure training on Feb. 2, ahead of the conference opening drinks.”

Showstop Procedure co-founder Steve Allen will also feature on a discussion panel, considering why and how the Showstop Procedure has been successfully implemented at festivals all over the world.
