Indie Venues Band Together: Forming a Community

Date TBA

The American launch of Independent Venue Week helped bring international attention to local venues across the country. Through a combination of marketing and media involvement, the event created a showcase of independently owned businesses in the live music sector. Participating venues were able to use this initiative as a platform to elevate their individual presence and metaphorically open their doors to a national audience. This is a frank discussion on how independent venues are working together in a rapidly consolidating marketplace, the complementary role of regional media, and the importance of having these spaces as part of the music industry's ecosystem.
