Music + Social Commerce: Connect, Engage, Amplify

Saturday, March 19
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 17A
531 E 4th St

Music now moves at the speed of social media. Bands are able to connect directly with fans, and the voice of the fan is amplified. Integrating commerce into this experience is a powerful way for bands to more closely connect with fans and unlock new revenue streams.

Rather than selling merchandise only at concerts, bands are now able to create, market and sell limited-edition custom apparel on an always-on basis. Fans can express themselves. Bands can create small-batch t-shirts for specific shows -- or just because.

This panel, moderated by upcoming artist David Wurgler, will feature social media, merchandise and ecommerce experts sharing tangible tips for making merch work.
