How do you attract new audiences without compromising your core values? 

Crowdbuilder is an audience development tool for mission-driven music venues. It helps teams develop new strategies that suit the needs of their venue. The tool was developed by LiveDMA and tested by 17 music venues of all sizes and genres from all over Europe. During this hands-on workshop, we will explore the tool with one of the Liveurope venues. Ken Veerman will lead the workshop. He is a strategic advisor for mission-driven venues and has been a part of the Crowdbuilder since the very beginning. Register here.

A key moment for the Liveurope team to share the latest updates with members and engage in discussions on the platform’s development and future strategies.

This is an opportunity to chat with your peers about the things that impact your day-to-day work. It’s an open space to share common challenges, swap ideas for projects, and get feedback — all in an informal setting. There will be 3 roundtables: General Managers, Programmers & Communicators.

Organised in partnership with Puglia Sounds & Emilia-Romagna Music Commission, this session will equip up-and-coming European artists with the knowledge and tools to advance their international careers.

What does it really mean to work in a music venue - and how does it affect our mental health?

In this workshop led by Restart – a safe space for music minds, we explore common challenges (loneliness, anxiety, and heavy workload) and how to tackle them together. Participants will discover how to see their venue as a living, breathing ecosystem, spot early signs of stress, and practice empathetic communication that makes a real difference. The workshop will also explore practical strategies for venues to better support the artists they host, for healthier, more collaborative spaces where everyone can thrive.
