A new quarterly series hosted by Shotgun for the minds defining the next chapter of nightlife. Each edition brings together the promoters, artists, venue operators, managers, and tastemakers who define what a city's nightlife actually feels like.
Our inaugural edition kicks off during Miami Music Week on Wednesday March 25th at Ray's Hometown Bar in Miami Beach.
At 5:30 PM, Anthony Hall (co-founder of ZeyZey, Miami's community-first venue) and Fabrice Sergent (CEO of Bandsintown, a platform enhancing the concert experience for millions of fans globally) sit down for a moderated conversation on "Who Actually Owns the Dance Floor?" What independent operators can do when the platforms consolidate around them. Two different vantage points, one shared problem. No slides, no script.
Nightlife runs on informal knowledge. Who's throwing the best parties, which promoters are reliable, what pricing models actually work, how to survive a slow month. That intel gets passed around in green rooms, after-parties, and DMs. There's no centralized space where the people who actually build nightlife culture can sit down together and level up the conversation.
The "standard" for how this industry operates has been defined by platforms that treat nightlife as a transaction or by legacy gatekeepers who hoard information. INDUSTRY STANDARD was born to change that.
By invitation only.
