WHY TOUR LINK?

David Scheirman
David Scheirman – Vice President, Tour Sound, JBL Professional

"The 2011 Tour Link Conference is shaping up to be an important calendar date for touring and event production personnel. At Tour Link I can always rely on meeting up with old friends and making some new ones while keeping up to date on new technology trends and business developments that affect all of us who work in the industry. I wouldn't want to miss it. If you work with entertainment events and want a chance to hang out with those who help make it all come together behind the scenes, then you shouldn't miss it either."

Benny Collins
Benny Collins – Production Director

"Due to the relaxed & attitude-free atmosphere at Tour Link, you can truly stop and smell the roses while enjoying the view. You get to see some old friends and hopefully make a few new ones along the way. Tour Link allows us to share what has all of us involved in this business: 'We love what we do!'"

Steve "Chopper"Borges
Steve "Chopper" Borges – Production Manager, Juanes World Tour 2011

"Tour Link is by far the best way to connect with old friends in the production side of our industry. Not only socially but professionally. Last year I connected with a lot of people that I had somewhat lost contact with ,in part, because of my long nearly total involvement in the Latin market. It resulted in not only renewing friendships but resulted in getting some work out of it. I highly recommend it to anyone either in this industry and hoping to get involved in this industry."

Narci Martinez
Narci Martinez – Production Manager, Red Hot Chili Peppers

"I put off participating in Tour Link until 2011. That was a huge mistake . I wish I would have gone the years before. Tour Link is informative  beyond measure, and it is  the only place for people in our industry to have the chance to bridge the gap between the pioneers and the next generation of leaders and innovators to come."

Bobby Schneider
Bobby Schneider – Sales, Accurate Staging

"Enjoying the company of friends old and new, it's like doing a great load-in with all your friends. The best thing is the band never shows up; we are the show."

Jim Digby
Jim Digby – Production Manager, Linkin Park

"The atmosphere at Tour Link affords all who attend an opportunity to connect without the stressors of producing a show. Truly a great chance to strengthen your bonds."

Seth Sheck
Seth Sheck – President, Access Pass & Design

"Tour Link Conference is your backstage pass to meet and hang out with the stars behind the stage of the concert touring industry!"

Jay Sendyk
Jay Sendyk – President, Sendyk & Company

"Tour Link Conference is the event of the year for old friends to come together, laugh, tell stories, meet new people and make new friends and for new attendees to learn, laugh, meet new people and make new friends. Fun to be had by all."

Dave Paiva
Dave Paiva – Vice President, Cube Passes

"Tour Link is like going to the bar 'Cheers;' everybody knows your name."

Jon Nevins
Jon Nevins – Shockwave Cargo

"I have such a great time that I never want it to come to an end, plain and simple."

Stuart Ross

"It's a great way to connect with the people we work with all year, as well as meet new ones we will work with in the future. Add in the great panel sessions, the late night hangs, and the fact that it's our only convention, it's a must attend."

Barry Podob

"For me, Tour Link is not like attending a conference, it's a chance to kick back, hang with old friends, make new ones, catch up on what everyone’s been up to during the past year and also, to learn about what's going on within the entertainment touring industry. The Board of Directors and the entire Tour Link Team do an outstanding job in organizing the conference, balancing the working sessions with sufficient free time, and making sure everyone has a meaningful experience. I'm looking forward to being in Scottsdale in 2011 and hope you are too."
