SERIES FIVE / PSV BOOTCAMP Summer 2022:
Web3 Series
Talks organized and hosted by Water and Music
INFORMATION
Team-building has been top-of-mind for our community and the music industry at large, as artists weather the storm of the current market, and try to navigate a slew of oncoming emerging technologies (across Web3, the metaverse, streaming, and much more) to understand what it means for their careers.
In this landscape, we're excited to launch a new Summer School speaker series highlighting how artist teams look today — and how they might look tomorrow.
Join us as we take a close-up, comprehensive look at seven different roles on the artist team — from the most important role of all (artist) to more traditional industry roles (manager, agent), and more emerging ones (community-builders). For each of these roles, we'll examine how they are evolving, the challenges they face, and the opportunities for improvement ahead.
The goal of this series is to break down traditional industry silos and encourage cross-pollination of strategies and tactics across roles, in the spirit of collaborative research and knowledge-sharing in the music industry. We also hope to provide the builders of today and tomorrow with a better understanding of pain points across the industry — and a launching pad from which to ideate on possible solutions!
