EVENT RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY TO PROS

Distribution networks worldwide practice blockbooking, which facilitates the movement of artists. As the SMAQ is a relatively recent network, it recognizes the potential need to establish a block booking system for independent venues in Quebec. The following topics will be addressed:

What is block booking?
What questions arise in implementing such a system?
How would it be beneficial for each stakeholder?
What would be the impacts on the SMAQ network?
Could block booking be a relevant tool for Quebec's independent music scene?
What form could a new block booking system take?
