PROGRAM RELIXMUSICCONFERENCE.COM @RELIXMUSICCONF #RLMC | 1 about Relix & the Relix Live music conference
Relix Media Group is a multifaceted, innovative, open-minded and creative resource for the live music scene. We are a passionate mix of writers, photographers, videogra- phers, event coordinators, musicians and industry professionals. But, above all, we are music lovers. Our mission is to seek out exciting, innovative performers and foster the live music com- munity by connecting with the people who matter most: the fans. Since our earliest inception, we have opened doors for the sonically curious and sought to represent the voice of the concert community. Join us at relix.com.
The Relix Live Music Conference is designed to shed light on the fast-paced and ever-changing live music business and bring together the leading figures in the industry today.
Coming off a sold-out inaugural year, in 2018, the conference has expanded to two days of panels and discussions that touch on subjects across the live music space. In addition, there will be ample opportunity for networking, discussion and education.
Relix has remained a constant for over 40 years covering live music and fostering deep relationships with artists, managers, agents, publicists, venues, and festivals. The Relix Live Mu- sic Conference casts a spotlight on all the pieces and people that help bring a show to life.
