Constituency Gatherings
We will be hosting special meet-ups for the bluegrass community to connect with other similarly-interested folks at The Summit. Whether you’re an artist, band manager, teacher, event organiser, booking agent, or bluegrass enthusiast at large – there is a constituency meet-up for you!
Each of these meet-ups will be facilitated by the EBMA Board member(s) assigned to support this specialised area. We’ll talk about challenges, successes, ideas and other topics relevant to each area. We recognize that many folks wear multiple hats in our community, and all Summit participants are encouraged to attend as many constituency gatherings as they’d like.
