Founded by Kevin Lyman (The Warped Tour, Mayhem Festival, etc.) and Trevor Swenson (Dynamic Talent International) after seeing how the Covid-19 pandemic brought the entertainment industry, live events, and much of the world’s economy to a grinding halt, The ADAPT Conference aims to highlight professionals who have found success through these times, as well as provide resources for those searching to learn how to do it themselves, collaborate, and adapt to our new reality.
The event will consist of a series of classes taught b and conversations with some big names from around the industry, including:
- Chamie McCurry (CMO, Danny Wimmer Presents)
- Joel Madden (Good Charlotte, MDDN, Veeps)
- Brian Rucker (Twitch)
- Eric Tobin (Hopeless Records)
- Ari Nisman (President & CEO, Degy World LLC and Degy Entertainment)
- Mark Woodbridge (Manager and Founder, 921 Collective)

What’s more, the conference’s “Open To Work Directory” will highlight the contact info of students and unemployed scholarship recipients who are looking for work, and there will be a job board on which employers can post jobs they are looking to fill. All that on top of the incredible networking opportunity the conference will provide!
