Track Meet: Houston’s Monthly Indie Music Development Summit

Track Meet is Track Society’s recurring monthly professional development and community-building program for aspiring and emerging independent music professionals in Houston.

Track Meet is a monthly indie music development summit. Each session combines professional education, creative development, industry resources, and opportunities to build relationships within Houston’s independent music community.

Rather than asking, "What did you learn?" we hope participants leave asking, "What will I do differently because I was here?"

Track Society created Track Meet to give aspiring and emerging independent music professionals more consistent access to education, professional resources, and community as they develop their careers.
