Are You Experiential?: What to Expect as ‘Live’ Reboots Itself
10:50 AM - 11:35 AM, Ballroom
(Panel Discussion)
Even before COVID, the live entertainment business was reassessing the way it did business in the 21st Century. Accessibility, efficiency, personal and targeted experiences were goals to pull people outdoors and into the seats. Now that we’ve had a reboot, the business has had plenty of time to reimagine itself. “Experiential” is a buzzword that has gained traction, in both the live in-person philosophy and the live-stream performances that have filled in the gap. This panel will look at what has changed in the live experience, and what fans can look forward to as they return to venues this summer.
