The Future Looks Bright

There’s plenty of noise about how tough the live music business is, but we see a different story. We’re focusing on what’s possible. The savviest independent venues are innovating, adapting, and leading the way forward, and First Hold: Miami is where the conversation deepens.

You’re invited to be a part of a curated group of venue owners, promoters, and agents for two days of connecting and collaborating with a focus on the future, in the elegant Mayfair House Hotel in the lush Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.
