No Clubs Presents‘ industry-focused panel series have spent the last five months inviting local bands, songwriters, managers, venue owners—anyone connected to the local music ecosystem—to come together and talk about what makes (and breaks) the scene.

Past talks have tackled touring and booking, marketing and press, legal and distribution.

This one taps some of the Bay area’s most prominent DIY promoters and event curators—including Babefest’s Angela Page, Lost Creation’s Ian Tuma and Indie Night Live’s Andres Hernandez—to talk about creating your own lane.

The discussion will be moderated by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Editor-In-Chief Ray Roa.
