Music Matters: Music Technology (free) Event at the Phoenix in Toronto
Attention all Music Geeks and Tech Freaks! We are excited to announce our next Music Tech MeetUp event, happening at the legendary Phoenix Concert Theatre on November 21, 2018.
This time, I’ll be moderating a panel on the role of technology in education and well-being. The networking and panel discussion will be followed by a Music Technology concert in partnership with MusiCounts and Yorkville Sound.
And it gets better: If you RSVP through the Music Technology MeetUp, you will receive a wristband to let you in the concert—for free!
As always, the event is 100% free to attend! And like all our previous events, we will offer free drinks, beer, snacks, and pizza (you can’t network on an empty stomach, right?).
