Pollstar Live!
The first step in addressing any issue is to gather the key decision makers together in one place for provocative discussion. This is the goal and success of Pollstar Live! conferences.
The inaugural Pollstar Live! conference wrapped on February 17, 2010 and we're happy to report it was a resounding success.
Pollstar Live! 2012 returned to the JW Marriott Los Angeles for a three-day run - February 1-3, 2012. Day one included participation in the Event Live Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center and the Pollstar Live! Opening Reception. Day two featured the four panel sessions and the keynote: Moneyball - The Art of Winning an Unfair Game with author Michael Lewis and Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane. The keynote was presented by NACPA and moderated by Bob Lefsetz. The final day of the conference continued the panel sessions dealing with topics as diverse as Educational Ties to Entertainment, Who Pays? The ASCAP, BMI & SESAC Conundrum and The 10 Commandments of Live Event Safety.
As is becoming the norm for Pollstar Live! conferences in Los Angeles, the weather was perfect and the atmosphere festive.
For those who went, we hope we did well. And we'll see you again next year!
Past Pollstar Conferences
CIC Conference History
Concert business history was made in February 1995 when the first Concert Industry Consortium conference brought together an unprecedented number of major industry players in Los Angeles to begin "Reinventing The Business." Fifteen years later the CIC conference finalized it's run of exchanging ideas and working toward a better concert experience for everyone at CIC 2009, January 28-30. Each and every conference - from 1995 through 2009 - allowed for a variety of viewpoints to be expressed, both from the panelists and the participants in the audience. On this level alone, the CIC conferences proved to be an overwhelming success.
