12th Annual Touring Career Workshop Set For November
The 12th annual Touring Career Workshop (TCW) is set for Nov. 14 at the Soundcheck Annex in Nashville.
TCW was created in 2011 by Chris Lisle, owner of concert event design, production and management firm CLLD, and industry professional Erik Parker as a way to provide access to experts and professional resources for the touring industry. The program serves as a large gathering of touring professionals, as well as those interested in careers in the industry.
Among the breakout sessions for this year’s balance-themed event are Touring Career Paths, Setting up Your Business, Making the Money Last, Personal Life Balance, Event Safety Alliance, Vendor Employment Panel and Health Insurance Options. There will also be a networking session with top vendors from the touring industry.
“We’re excited to return to the Soundcheck Annex for the 12th annual Touring Career Workshop. The focus on work/life balance is especially important this year,” says Lisle. “In addition to breakout sessions on the topic, we will also offer several sessions dedicated to educating those not currently working in live entertainment but who are considering one of the many career paths available to them.”
Registration for the free event is now open. For more information, click here.
In addition to the annual free TCW event, a year-round All Access Program offers four counseling sessions with one of several pre-approved therapists and life coaches for all artists, musicians, crews, staffs and their spouses, at no cost. This year, the All Access Program expanded services to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, where all artists, bands, crews and staff members had access to a free session with a licensed on-site therapist. Everything is handled confidentially, and the names of participants are only known by their therapist.
