CONCERT INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM (CIC) LIVE

Hollywood, CA
The Concert Industry Consortium was founded in 1994 to foster greater communication among key professionals within the concert business and also between the concert business and other elements of the music business. The partnership comprises executives from major booking agencies, concert promotion, facility management and record companies.
The CIC seeks to facilitate the exchange of ideas between key decision makers, enhance the flow of information among professionals, and make a positive contribution toward enriching the concert industry's health.
The concert industry landscape has changed significantly since the inception of the consortium; the business itself is constantly being redefined. Consolidation, new technology, and global economics are bringing unprecedented challenges and opportunities to our industry. These forces of change have made the CIC more valuable.
Our ability to adapt to the new business climate depends on our ability to brainstorm, address common concerns, and share ideas that will brighten the future for all of us. The CIC's goal is to help the concert industry not just survive, but also to evolve and prosper.
