d probably think about attending this year’s Billboard Touring Conference! It will be held on Nov. 3 & 4, 2010 at the Sheraton New York in NYC, and will featured panels about all the different aspects of touring from creation, to marketing, to branding and sponsorship. It’s a must-see event for any artist that is serious about the business of touring.And of course, Sonicbids is getting involved. Our very own CEO Panos Panay will take part in the panel “HOW TO TOUR AND MAKE MONEY (EVEN IF NOBODY KNOWS WHO YOU ARE)”. Here’s the scoop on it:
TOPIC: It’s hard enough for established headlining acts to make money on the road, much less mid-level acts and baby bands. More artists are adopting a DIY model and seeking to control their own destiny. Hear the challenges and opportunities from artists and executives who are charting their own courses, and those who can help.
MODERATOR: Cortney Harding, Music Editor, Billboard
SPEAKERS: Steve Gerstman (President, CutMerch), Panos Panay (Founder/CEO, Sonicbids), Ian Rogers (CEO, Topspin), John Chavez (Agent, Ground Control Touring), Josh Neuman (Manager, Complete Control Management)
