Join NIVA for our second annual conference in Washington, DC from July 10–12, 2023, with an opening party on July 9th. As the leading conference for independent music and comedy venues, festivals and the promoter industry, NIVA ‘23 will bring the live entertainment community together to support, educate, and connect industry leaders across the United States.Important topics discussed this year will include industry diversity, mental health, safety, insurance, economic impact of live entertainment, booking, artist development, ticketing, and the role of live entertainment in policymaking. Each keynote panel will feature prominent industry leaders, members of the media, recording artists, and NIVA members. NIVA ‘23 will also give members the opportunity to engage with NIVA’s federal and national partners on Capitol Hill, in the Administration, and throughout the Capitol region.
In addition to a full slate of programming, there will be live performances and a gala to celebrate live entertainment’s contribution to the nation. The events will take place at multiple NIVA music and comedy venues across Washington, D.C. During the evenings, attendees will take advantage of concerts and performances taking place every night of the conference.
On the final day of the NIVA conference, July 12, NIVA will be organizing our first-ever in-person Congressional “Fly-In” on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The goal of this Fly-In is to build on the foundation of the Save Our Stages campaign to ensure independent venues, festivals, and promoters continue to be a part of federal policymaking.
