That means you can vote for my panel Why Your Tour Needs House Concerts.

Here’s the official description:

Find out why house concerts make sense for your next tour. Learn how to successfully approach established house concert series, book and promote shows. Discover the key differences between a house concert and a club gig. We’ll show you what it takes to make each house concert a memorable experience.

Vote for my PanelPicker Idea!
