Live music is one of Austin’s most durable and distinctive economic assets. Beyond culture and entertainment, the music industry fuels tourism, hospitality, real estate development, workforce attraction, and brand visibility for the region. From global touring acts and major venues to local labels and neighborhood stages, music touches nearly every sector of Austin’s economy.

Music as an Economic Force convenes business leaders, employers, venue operators, and music executives to examine how music translates into measurable economic impact and how Austin can continue to grow this advantage responsibly. This program will explore how major venues drive regional spending, how businesses leverage music for growth and engagement, and what’s next for Austin’s evolving live music ecosystem.
