  • Hold community events (e.g. socials, networking events, panels, jam nights) to connect, support and represent community in your city
  • Manage local gear and event supplies inventory, and attend additional shows as needed
  • Take responsibility for your city's growth and success as it relates to ticket inventory, show quality, and overall experience
  • Know your city and represent its authentic voice through everything you do
