GENERAL SESSION: Marketing Trailblazers: Identifying Implicit Bias & Embracing Diverse Populations

Artist Hall A

All country fans wear cowboy hats and all hip-hop fans are 21 years old: FALSE.

The evolution of live entertainment has resulted in blurred lines and fans of particular genres can no longer be classified or treated as a homogenous group.  Experts agree that live entertainment is now mainstream generally beginning with the rise of NWA/dawn of gangsta rap in 1988. Join our industry experts for a candid conversation on implicit bias & the resulting implications. Specifically, we will focus on how personal bias affects Guest Services, Marketing, Security, Booking, F & B, etc. and ultimately the bottom line, your venue reputation and ability to attract future shows.  Regardless of venue size or geographic location, EAMC attendees will benefit from a no-holds barred session on topics including:

  • Guest Services & Security (how do we treat people – do we have preconceived notions on arrival times, behavior, spending, etc.)
  • Marketing (who do you think purchases tickets for Drake, Bruno Mars, J. Cole, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, etc. – and who REALLY purchases the tickets)
  • Food & Beverage (preconceived notions about menu offerings)
  • Future Trends (if your building is purposely not booking EDM/hip hop, ask why?)

Panelists: Gerrick Kennedy (Los Angeles Times), Rosie Selle (KeyArena) and Liz Roca (AmericanAirlines Arena)
Moderator: Shani Tate (Sprint Center)
