Industry professionals have asked about how they can be a speaker on a panel or be more involved in a conference. Here (below) is a perfect opportunity to pitch your topic, suggest yourself or a colleague as a speaker, or sponsor a panel. Let those who are curating programming, know you have both the skills and experience to speak to certain relevant topics or themes for the independent venue. Talk about your value, not everyone knows you. :)

On October 17th, join the Subvert Co-op and become a co-owner of a Bandcamp successor - owned and controlled by us all. We'll be releasing our full plan as a 140-page physically published zine, inviting you to become part of something new. The idea of a collectively owned platform isn't a utopian fantasy. This is a concrete intervention, and our plan will outline in full detail how we'll accomplish this. We believe artist infrastructure should be owned by artists. It's time to build a solidarity economy for music, where those closest to pain are closest to the solutions. Imagine a music marketplace where the community owns the code, controls the decisions, and shares in its success. Together, we can push the boundaries of what's possible and create a new era of shared ownership and control. Join us. Sign up for the mailing list and learn more: https://subvert.fm/

The One Night Stand is a great initiative but has previously only delivered a once-off sugar hit to regional economies. The support of Music Australia in building regional capacity to grow creative economies in regional spaces is a welcome move. There are aspirations in regional communities to host live music events and appetite from regional communities to attend music events. Let's find more ways to ensure creative industries can thrive in regional areas, particularly through regional touring circuits, live music venues, and youth arts programs. Side note: I can think of a number of regional areas in South Australia that could support a great visitor experience for a One Night Stand. -- Light Regional Council The Barossa Council Barossa Australia South Australian Tourism Commission Adelaide Plains Council REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOYDER Regional Development Australia Barossa Gawler Light Adelaide Plains

This is a meeting, but none can speak.   A small group of hearing-impaired people are coming together.   They are partnering with another caste-discriminated low-income community to conduct a community Pongal festival.   On Jan 16th, their streets will be loaded with events, children’s programs, games, stage, sound, and music.   This is not the reason for my awe. But below is!   - This is their 4th planning meeting. - So far, 30+ people have attended every meeting. - No travel reimbursements, refreshments, or incentives for attending. - On the contrary, they have to buy gifts, pay for the stage, sound, etc., - 85K is the budget and they have only 8k in hands.   I ask them "You gain no benefit by conducting this festival, why are you organizing this?"   Their answer "This is an opportunity for all of us to get together. What else?".   What else?   Note: If you want to support them, consider sending Rs.500 to their co-ordinator Meyyapan's G-Pay number 9597092640 (He can speak).

Whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow or not, warmer weather is on its way! So are golf tournaments, community fun runs, music festivals and more. These events are a great way to engage with your local community, which will ultimately build your brand awareness. According to Forbes, word-of-mouth is still the most effective way to raise awareness and grow your business. Sponsoring, participating and even hosting these community events can build trust for your brand within the local community and grow goodwill that lasts longer than Phil’s shadow. Don’t rely on a rodent (no offense, Phil) to determine your company’s success.

We often dream of an idealistic and happy life on our planet, in our country, and in our city, but we always sigh and think that it is a utopia. And none of us seems willing to take action to make this dream a reality! But JazzYYC does! JazzYYC is not just another organization. It's not about making money. It's not about staging fancy concerts for the elite. JazzYYC is all about the young generation of Calgary! This is the core mission of the organization – supporting the youth of Calgary, the future of our city. Across Canada, JazzYYC stands out as the only jazz society that not only organizes festivals but also helps the younger generation access jazz music education. I couldn't find another such organization. Today, sustainability is a buzzword. Everyone claims to be sustainable, even tobacco companies... But true sustainability is actually very rare in any industry. JazzYYC is an excellent example of what sustainability can look like. One model we use at JazzYYC is to organize events in cafes, jazz clubs, and other venues in Calgary, allowing ALL Calgarians to listen to jazz - many of our events are free of charge. Thus, even those who can't afford tickets to fancy concerts can attend jazz concerts, and local small businesses have more clients and more money. We allow young jazz musicians to play alongside big names in the Calgary jazz scene in front of an audience. Isn't this wonderful? Isn't this something truly different? Isn't this real care for the future generation and the future of our community? You can support this great thing by participating in our 50/50 raffle. Currently, we've raised over 1700 CAD. This means that by spending just a minimum of 10 CAD, you'll have a chance to win half of the total amount, which is now 1700 CAD and, hopefully, will be more by May 1st. Let’s support our jazz community in Calgary for the price of just one espresso or americano! Tourism Calgary, Travel Alberta, City of Calgary I dream of the day when people from across Canada (and why only Canada) visiting Calgary each year to attend the Calgary International Jazz Festival! Together, we can make it happen. 😊 ❤️ #jazzyyc #yyccc #yyc #blueskycity #tourismcalgary #travelalberta
