And please get inspired from the panel sessions from the Amplify Music 2021 virtual online conference -- also available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@RethinkNextMusic.
Amplify Music Communities began as a quick virtual conference in April 2021 to capture stories and challenges of local music early in the pandemic. We gathered 39 sessions of conversations across 25 hours in April. In April 2021, we gathered conversations back together for AM21.

We knew going into the pandemic that local musicians and venues usually lacked social support for healthcare, housing, and basic living and working support. Then the pandemic proved the challenges, and many communities then moved to step up. What will we expect and what have we built (or need to build) in our local communities to support creators, venues, and related industries? This session will look deeper into what makes local music so vital to a community's support system. Over the next three years, how can our local sectors augment social safety nets for music creators all all the related systems in need?
