Aspen Live Turns 17 - Pollstar News

It’s that time of year again, when thoughts of Thanksgiving and turkey give way to planning for the Aspen Live Conference, the annual conference hosted by Jim Lewi in the skiing mecca of Aspen, Colo.

Known for its intimacy as well as its proximity to the slopes, the 17th edition of Aspen Live promises both Dec. 13-16 at the St. Regis Aspen Resort and the Limelight Hotel.

Focusing on the future of live music and ticketing, Aspen Live will feature speakers and panels including those with Voice Media Group CEO Scott Tobias, Ticketfly CEO Andrew Dreskin and Springoard Productions CEO Hank Neuberger.

Nic Adler and his partners from Adler Integrated will guide attendees through a daylong presentation called “Aspen Integrated” with Topspin chief Ian Rogers and BandPage CEO J Sider.

Square Peg Concerts’ founder Dan Steinberg will interview The Agency Group’s Steve Martin about his long career, and all-around industry gadfly Bob Lefsetz will conduct a Q&A with Live Nation President/CEO Michael Rapino in between hitting the slopes.
