TOUR LINK 2012 — TOP DOG AWARDS

What are the Top Dog Awards?

The Top Dog Awards are bestowed upon the very best of the best in the touring community as voted on by their peers every year. Each year at Tour Link we present the Top Dog Awards Show.

The Top Dog Awards show is one of the most anticipated evenings of the Tour Link Conference. The 2012 show took place Saturday, January 28 in the Ballroom at Talking Stick Resort. The evening opened with a special cocktail hour and ended with an awards show unlike any other.
