For 2024, GTL Sessions marked a brand-new event on the live touring industry calendar. Held in Mykonos, GTL brought together Tour Managers, and Tour Service Suppliers from around the world. Creating a chance to connect in stunning surroundings and providing a space to discuss important topics within touring life.
SPEED+SYNC
Our Speed+Sync Sessions are quick 1:1 meetings between Tour Service Suppliers and Tour Managers, they can be utilised as a time to showcase your services, a continuation of conversations and topics from our Social sessions, or can be taken as an opportunity to just find out more about one another.
SYMPOSIA
Covering a wide range of topics, our Symposia Sessions are designed to give you short insights into the world of live touring. From educating everyone about mental health on the road, to the virtual future of touring, these topics provide ice breakers for the Speed + Sync Sessions, along with providing a platform to discuss best practices within the industry.
