Press Release:
Touring Career Workshop is set to host its fourth consecutive conference on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at Soundcheck Nashville. This free event invites current touring and production professionals along with potential job seekers to learn more about “life on the road.” The day will begin with keynote speaker Donnie Lewis, a prominent figure in the touring industry who currently serves as a tour manager to Peter Frampton. He will be sharing his tips for career longevity. A variety of breakout sessions will follow. Topics include financial planning, how to maintain health on the road and the importance of industry networking.
The organization’s founders, Chris Lisle, Executive Director and owner of Chris Lisle Lighting Design, and Erik Parker, Associate Director and Lighting Director for Jennifer Nettles, formed the organization in 2011. “Our goal is educate touring production personnel on the various resources available to ensure that they are getting the most out of their career from a human resources standpoint,” according to Lisle. “We are excited to present some new panels this year that reflect the topics that are most critical to our industry today.”
The organization is also active year round providing opportunities such as an internationally recognized mentorship program that allows aspiring “roadies” the chance to connect with touring industry professionals for six months. This will be available for sign up at the conference. In addition to providing educational panels and networking opportunities, the event is also giving back to the community. TCW regularly donates resources to local charities including this year’s contribution to the Oasis Center, a local resource for at risk youth. Attendees are encouraged to make a donation. Needed items will be specified on TCW’s website.
The event will be held at 740 Cowan Street, Nashville, TN 37207 with doors opening at 5:30 PM and the event beginning at 6:30 PM. The day will close with a networking mixer beginning at 10:00 PM.
