DIY distributor and music tech company Too Lost will host a music industry conference called “Game From The GAUDS” in four U.S. cities next month.
Too Lost claims to work with over 100,000 independent artists and labels worldwide and is headquartered in New York with offices in Los Angeles, Barcelona and Reykjavik.
Described as a “live interactive music industry experience” hosted by industry veterans Ray Daniels, Damian Ritter [Too Lost Director of Marketing]and famous DJ Nila SimonToo Lost claims its new event format is “the future of music conferences”.
These events are targeted at artists, producers, managers, independent label owners, songwriters and more.
The conference series won’t feature panel discussions, as is standard at most industry conferences today, but Too Lost says there will be “music, live games and prizes from Mackie.”
“There will not be any panel discussions, but well-known music professionals from each city will be present to give their opinions and participate in interactive sessions,” Too Lost said.
Damien Ritter, the company’s marketing director, added: “We created Game From The Gauds because we felt the traditional conference format wasn’t engaging enough for today’s artists. Our vision is to immerse artists in a creative, gamified environment. Joly changes the way they learn, and this environment not only educates them, but also inspires them to improve their careers.
The locations and dates of “Game From The GAUDS” are as follows:
- Philadelphia, October 9th.
- Washington, DC, October 11.
- Atlanta, October 12.
- New York, October 14
Admission to the event is $45.
The Game From The GAUDS event will also launch a game called ROLLOUT! The Goats are made up of two teams, captained by Ray Daniels and The Underdogs, captained by Damian Ritter.
Each captain will have 10 minutes to assemble a team from the audience, including an artist, a producer, a manager and a content creator (photographer, graphic designer, etc.).
Once teams are chosen, one person from each team will roll a “giant die.” The number that appears on top of the die will be the budget (or down payment) the team has to use to plan its launch strategy. They have to stay within budget.
Artists from each team need to explain to the audience who they are, what they do, what type of music they create, etc.
Each member of the team will then discuss how they will contribute to the overall rollout strategy.
Team captains Ray Daniels and Damian Little will Ask questions and guide the team to finalize the final rollout strategy.
Once launched, viewers will decide which promotional strategy they think will be more successful and vote for the winner. In the event of a tie, Nila Simon The winning team will be determined. The winner will receive a prize and a “shout-out” from Mackie Ray Daniels Instagram.
