Most bands are “show-ready”… but get stuck at booking + promotion.
In this session, Patrick “Pulsar” Trout (founder of Pulsar Presents) lays out a practical, no-BS guide to building a show from zero—and keeping it from becoming miserable work.

Patrick explains why many venues function like rental halls now, how “four-walling” can be an advantage, how to pick room size so you pass the “eye test,” and how to avoid the classic mistakes that get you quietly blacklisted. He also digs into promotion in 2025: why social-only marketing fails, why flyers are back, and how to use real-world networking to grow a scene.
