Track Meet: The Indie Music Summit of the Year

Check-in will begin  (Day One) at 8 AM CST and the day is expected to end at 5:30 PM CST. Day Two will begin at 9AM CST and is scheduled to end at 5:30PM CST. 

Breakfast and lunch are anticipated to be provided each day.  

We're currently accepting collaboration proposals from aspiring Track Meet Workshop Facilitators. Collaboration proposals can be submitted via our Contact Us page or our email at tracksociety.org@gmail.com. 

The workshops are going to be deliciously informative and stimulating.  Guest participants will be broken down into groups and will be assigned to the same group on both days. 

Day One: You should expect Day One to be the workshop's "information day." On this day, the facilitator will spend most of the  time teaching the workshop's material.

Day Two: This day is designated for creative lab time for each workshop. You should expect to be offered to sing, rap, record, produce or demonstrate any other relevant skill on this day.

Here's a list of the approved workshop topics for this year:

• Advanced Songwriting & Arrangement 
•  Creative Wellness 
• Financial Literacy 
• Digital Marketing & Branding
• Vocal Production & Mixing 
• Bonus: Radio Etiquette Training

NOTE: Workshops will be up to one hour long, and each guest participant will see each workshop facilitator once a day.

We recommend bringing the following with you on each day:

• Note Taking Materials & Feedback Submission Methods - For writing notes, folder/storage for collecting handouts and completing QR coded surveys.

• Comfortable Clothing & Shoes - We encourage everyone to show up as their best self and to be prepared photos, video recordings & prolonged sitting/standing. 

• Prescription medications - Please don't forget to bring all medications that need to be taken after breakfast but before dinner.

• Your "A-Game," - Each workshop includes an interactive practical, also referred to as a "lab,"as an opportunity to apply the information covered in the workshop. Some of these labs may offer the opportunity for you sing, rap, produce, or to offer perspective.

• Easy Access to Your Music - You may be offered the opportunity to share some of your work for during the workshop's creative lab time.

• Contact Information - To make the most of the event's creative and professional networking opportunities, we recommend everyone comes prepared to exchange their contact info as quickly and  efficiently as possible.

• Extra Travel/Packing Space - Please leave space in your luggage to return with some gifts.

• An Opened Mind - Regarding the workshop and collaborative labs, we recommend thinking of them as items on a buffet line; acknowledging that you don't have to be fed by every item on the line to have a great meal.

• Patience - This is our first shot at this, and there may be hiccups we'll have to work through together. We will also need your patience when submitting your feedback as we will be using it to make Track Meet (2025) even better. 

The event will be hosted on the Northwest part of the Greater Houston Area. We recommend flying in/out of  George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) or William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). Both are international airports with airport shuttle services. 

Please leave space in your luggage to return with some gifts.
