Workshop „How to book a tour?! Things to think of before you hit the road“

For those who want to improve their professional skills, make valuable contacts and get valuable advice for their first steps into new territories, the Lithuanian Music Business Association is organising two exclusive workshops in English on 11 and 22 October.

On 22 October at 16:00 the workshop „How to book a tour?! Things to think of before you hit the road“ will take place at the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania.

Lithuanian Music Business Association invites you to join an informal workshop aimed at providing valuable guidance for your first steps into new territories.

During this workshop, we’ll explore how to nurture your local ecosystem, build sustainable relationships, and create the necessary local and international network for exporting your music. We’ll examine practical examples and experiences related to tour planning & preparation, promotion & paperwork, and building the ideal momentum for touring.
