  • The Where and Who of Live Music in 2021
    What dramatic changes in venue landscapes might we expect in 2021? Some changes may be as core as permanent changes to food & beverage, ticketing, and hygiene theater as a pre-show to events.  Some may be as extensive as rethinking what is a venue or festival going forward.  Will this change how we use and permit space in the future, changing the economics of venues and events? How does this change the future of Festivals and Mass Gatherings, in the short and long term? Lastly, How does resource allocation differ by geography?

  • Changing Roles of Real Estate and Single Purpose Spaces [Amplify Music 2021]

    A Venue now may need different densities and configurations — and is not the only way to be creating and performing in a local community. Ahead of the pandemic, all sorts of pop-ups, outdoor events and festivals, and multi-purpose spaces were growing in many communities. In this session, we’ll explore the future of venues in a post-pandemic local world in terms of density, ownership, policy/permitting, and incentive structures. Real estate may never be the same — how will its challenges this past year shift our assumptions of what we expect in our creative cities and spaces?


    Speakers:

    Stan Renard | UT San Antonio

    Louis-Etienne Dubois | Ryerson University

    Adam J. Fowler | Beacon Economics

    Kwende Kefentse | CKCU
