During SXSW, indie music venue advocates gathered to strategize on sustaining their businesses amidst tough competition from large promoters like Live Nation. The National Independent Venue Association's panel highlighted that small venues contribute significantly to local economies but often struggle to compete due to substantial marketing budgets of larger companies. SXSW, traditionally a lifeline for these venues, will have a shorter schedule next year, raising concerns about its impact on their revenue and overall sustainability in the face of impending economic challenges.
