FEATURED PRESENTATION: 

Who Controls Live Music? Antitrust, Independent Venues, and the Future of Tampa's Music Scene

This program will examine the legal and economic challenges facing the live music industry, including the Live Nation antitrust litigation, industry consolidation, and independent venue advocacy. Using the proposed Live Nation development in Ybor City as a local case study, the presentation will explore antitrust law, competition, and the legal issues affecting independent artists, venues, and the Tampa music community.
