Amplify Music Communities Rethink Next

- Music
Music is changing locally around the world. Enjoy our Community Conversations with music leaders in cities, regions, and countries throughout 2021. And please get inspired from the panel sessions from the Amplify Music 2021 conference that we will roll out over the next few months. What is Amplify Music? Amplify Music began as a quick virtual conference in April 2021 to capture stories and challenges of local music early in the pandemic. We gathered 39 sessions of conversations across 25 hours in April. In April 2021, we gathered conversations back together for AM21. Please enjoy past recordings and the future Amplify Music Communities episodes.

Rethinking Nightlife
Music is part of nightlife, but the nightlife industries are a lot more than music. During the pandemic, nightlife was further challenged, including restaurants, hotels, bars, and other venues. For some cities, nightlife became daytime or just closed with curfews — and bubbled out into unpermitted events. Where do we want to go for robust local nightlife? For the nightlife industries, what practical actions and strategies are needed and planned for recovery?
Speakers:
Michael Fichman | University of Pennsylvania; Urban Spatial Analysis; Solway Music, LLC
Scott Plusquellec | Office of Film and Music, City of Seattle
Mike Bell | The New Colossus Festival; Lorimer Beacon
Tara Duvivier | Pratt Center for Community Development

Rethinking Music Jobs
In recovery, will careers and jobs look the same as before? Will there be new pathways or barriers in how we work together and what resources/assets are needed for live and recorded music? How might music and music industry college programs and continuing education change? Where will music jobs be? And will the jobs of the future look the same — or do we have a big bout of retraining ahead for the new-er music industries in cities across the world?
Speakers:
Armen Shaomian | Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association (MEIEA), University of South Carolina
Emily White | Collective Entertainment, #iVoted
Nancy Tarr | Well Dunn
Tamar Kaprelian | Nvak Collective, Nvak Foundation

Rethinking Space - Futures of Live Events
As we return, we’re planning for unknown density, relationships with global touring, large vs small venue booking, increased costs, unknown appetites for tickets — what will the futures of live events be in the longer run, 2022 and beyond? Will the experiences change? Will concentrations of ownership change?
Speakers:
Eric Gilbert | Treefort Music Festival
Ben Johnson | Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles
