Today, Billboard, the global authority in music, announced that tickets are officially on sale for the Live Music Summit Presented by VENU, returning Monday, November 3, 2025, at 1 Hotel West Hollywood. The one-day event will bring together top executives, artists, and innovators from across the live entertainment industry for panels, networking opportunities, and a special awards ceremony. Both the summit and awards will be programmed by Billboard Senior Editor Eric Renner Brown.
This year’s summit will feature a dynamic lineup of panels covering the most pressing topics in live entertainment including:
- No Bots Allowed: Inside Chappell Roan's Fan-First Ticketing Strategy (Sponsored by AXS): When Chappell Roan announced her fall 2025 pop-up shows, she made it her mission to get tickets for the concerts into the hands of real fans. Partnering with AXS, she used the ticketing leader’s innovative tool, Fair AXS, to verify buyers – and stop bots and scalpers from hijacking the moment. In this panel, Dean Dewulf (AXS), Lauren McKinney (Foundations Artist Management), and Kristen Mitchell (Wasserman Nashville) will unpack how an artist’s vision, management strategy, and ticketing technology came together to protect Chappell's community and set a new standard for fan-first onsales.
- The Women Leading The Booking Space (Sponsored by Allegiant Stadium): Today, it increasingly feels like women have broken the agency space's glass ceiling, yet women agents continue to face gender-specific challenges like navigating motherhood in a rapidly paced job. In this panel, four women whose careers are testaments to greater inclusivity in this sector – Jenna Adler (CAA), Marsha Vlasic (Independent Artist Group), and Elisa Vazzana (UTA) – will discuss navigating the live business, their clients' touring strategies and the status of that glass ceiling.
- Building Touring's Sustainable Future With Maggie Baird: As Billie Eilish and Finneas have become leaders at the intersection of music and sustainability, so has their mother, Maggie Baird. Dating back to the earliest days of her kids' music careers, Baird has helped them to take an eco-conscious approach, and in 2020, she founded Support + Feed, which aims to mitigate climate change and increase food security by increasing accessibility to plant-based foods, including at large-scale events like concerts. Here, Baird will reflect on her work in the green touring space – and look ahead at the work that remains.
- How Warped Tour Built A Lasting Legacy – And Returned In 2025: For decades, Warped Tour was a proving ground for punk, emo, and alt-rock artists – and an annual place where those fan communities could gather. In 2025, six years after Warped wrapped its initial 25-year run, the festival returned with three two-day events in California, Florida, and Washington, D.C. Here, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, Vans executive Steve Van Doren, Honey Revenge's Devin Papadol, and Pennywise's Fletcher Dragge look back on the event's legacy – and why it remains a touchstone today.
- Spotlight Conversation – The Rise of Rauw Alejandro: In recent years, Rauw Alejandro has become one of the most in-demand Latin touring acts – and on his Cosa Nuestra World Tour this year, he took his high-concept stage production to another level. In this spotlight conversation, Rauw Alejandro and Live Nation SVP of global touring Hans Schafer will discuss the reggaeton artist's emergence as one of the live sector's most sought-after stars.
The day will also feature a networking lunch sponsored by AEG, an evening cocktail hour presented by Live Nation, and an awards ceremony recognizing leaders and innovators in live entertainment.
“Billboard’s Live Music Summit is an exclusive opportunity for concert-industry leaders, touring legends and rising stars to come together and shape the future of live entertainment,” said Hannah Karp, Editor-in-Chief, Billboard. “We’re thrilled to convene such a dynamic and powerful group of talent in Los Angeles this fall.”

SheKnows announced today the launch of How to Raise Adults, a new content series offering insights from teens on navigating the complex transition from adolescence to adulthood. Covering mental health, financial literacy, technology, relationships, and social trends, the series offers an authentic look into teen perspectives and the issues shaping the next generation. As part of the How to Raise Adults series, SheKnows is proud to partner with BetterHelp to spotlight accessible mental health resources that help teens build lifelong well-being.
Created in collaboration with SheKnows editors, recognized thought leaders, and the SheKnows Teen Council, the series combines expert guidance with teen-driven insights. The Council comprises 120 contributors ages 15–19, and to date has published over 50 articles and videos, reaching 8 million parents nationwide.
"One of our goals in establishing the SheKnows Teen Council was to include the kids in a parenting conversation that often lacks their voices," said SHE Media Chief Content Officer, Cristina Velocci.
Key Insights from the Teen Council
- Money Talks Louder When It’s Self-Made: Teens admire men who build their own wealth. In a Teen Council focus group, 100% of participants respect Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk as leading sources of influence.
- Trusted on Tech and Wealth, Not Politics: Elon Musk’s political credibility may be questioned by teens, but his advice on technology and wealth earns strong trust.
— “I completely trust him. He’s like self-made. With a lot of rich people, you don’t know how they have their money. But you know that he was smart and had his own plan.” – Clive, 16
—“Majority of people trust him with all of their information, whether they want to or not.” – Olivia, 17
- Parenting vs. Perspective: Many teens feel their parents’ worries about phones and AI are out of touch. They recognize social media’s downsides but find real-world experiences far more rewarding.
- Seeking Support: 67% of 120 Teen Council members surveyed turn to friends and therapists over their dads for guidance.
SheKnows will unveil the full set of findings in a special report this fall.
Expert Perspectives
Through collaborations and interviews with leading experts and recognized thought leaders, the series equips parents with strategies to nurture resilience, confidence, and long-term well-being, helping to set children up for success.

About Kali Uchis:
Global superstar, GRAMMY®-winning recording artist Kali Uchis has been hailed as a rare talent since she emerged. With artful forays into R&B, alt-pop, reggaeton, and Latin strains, she’s has released several of the most lauded albums of the past decade: from her 2015 mixtape Por Vida, to her 2018 debut LP Isolation, the 2020 Spanish set Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), 2023's Red Moon in Venus, which features the 2x Platinum-certified “Moonlight,” and was regaled by TIME Magazine as the ‘Best Album of the Year,’ 2024’s ORQUÍDEAS, and now her most personal body of work, her forthcoming fifth studio album Sincerely, (5/9). In 2024, ORQUÍDEAS launched Uchis’ career to new heights. Her highest charting album to date (debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200), the critically adored record — which was her fourth album overall and second in Spanish — was led by crossover singles like the Platinum-certified “Igual Que un Ángel”with Peso Pluma (#1 on Hot Latin Songs, #23 on the Hot 100) and Gold-certified “Labios Mordidos” with KAROL G(#10 on Hot Latin Songs, #97 on the Hot 100). ORQUÍDEAS was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards, Best Pop Vocal Album at the Latin GRAMMYs, and took home trophies from the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Latin American Music Awards. The set closed the year on numerous “Best Albums” lists, racking up glowing praise from countless outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, and The New York Times. Amid consistent acclaim and honors — including nine GRAMMY®-nominations and a 2021 win in the category of Best Dance Song for her appearance on Kaytranada’s “10%”— Uchis’ major breakthrough came with her own 2021 smash hit “telepatía,” which has been streamed more than 2 billion times to date and was the Hot 100’s longest running Spanish-language song by a solo act this decade with a 23-week streak. Uchis is now on the way to reaching the Spotify Billions Club three times over with the smash success of songs “telepatía,” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again” (featuring Kali Uchis),” and soon to be “Moonlight.” Raised between Virginia and Colombia, Uchis has gone on to collaborate and share the stage with the likes of SZA, Tyler the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Rauw Alejandro, and her longtime partner Don Toliver, with whom she welcomed her first child last year. Uchis has toured the world over on multiple sold-out headlining runs, the most recent of which saw her playing arenas, as well as celebrated sets at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Austin City Limits, Tropicalia, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and many more.
