ANAHEIM, CA – If you are out at the NAMM Show, be sure to stop by and join us for PLSN/FOH’s ProProduction Session at NAMM, The Top Teams Behind the Top Tours. This session takes place on Friday, April 14 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. atLevel 2, 202B.
This ProProduction session is a NAMM-only opportunity to join the best in the business, as they share their expertise and on-the-road experiences. This session will discuss how you take a tour global — what design and logistical considerations, as well as artist requests, need to be baked into the plan, the design and the bottom line. We will also speak about the state of the touring labor landscape in terms of mentorship, opportunities and challenges. This ProProduction Session is presented by PLSN and FOH Magazines.
