This event is for people interested in live concert production – technical and logistics . We would therefore like to know a bit about your previous experience and interest in live events and expect you to answer a couple of questions with your registration. This info will be passed to the production to make sure that those attending get the best experience.
The Walk & Talk will take about 2 hours during the afternoon and does not give admission to the show in the evening.
Please arrive 15min before the walkthrough starts to allow enough time to get into the venue. We ask that you kindly do not take any photos or videos at this event.
We will provide attendees with additional information in an email 2 days before the event (meeting location and contact details).
This event is limited to 15 spaces – if sold out you can join our waiting list.
If you can no longer attend please cancel your ticket via Eventbrite ASAP so someone else can get your spot.
