Ego Aside: Future-Proofing Your Personal Brand

Marcie Allen has earned the kind of powerhouse accolades most in the music business only dream of—curating game-changing brand partnerships and collaborations with Billy Joel, Travis Scott, Post Malone, Peso Pluma, John Mayer, The Rolling Stones, and many more, along with multiple Billboard & Variety honors. In 2004, she founded MAC Presents, which grew into one of the top music experiential agencies in the country for nearly two decades and one of the few female-owned agencies. When the pandemic hit, MAC was forced to close its doors, and everything she had built seemed to vanish overnight. She and her husband had recently opened Anzie Blue, a coffee shoppe in Nashville. In the most uncertain of times, she set her ego aside, relocated from NYC and was a waitress while continuing to nurture creativity and building community in her hometown. Today, Marcie has rebuilt with even greater force—Nashville’s only women-owned live music venue, Anzie Blue, who has hosted 300+ shows in the last two years. She is launching a record label and production company this fall with her husband, Derek Van Mol, and has been an adjunct professor at NYU for the last 13 years teaching strategic branding. The relationships she’s cultivated over 30+ years never wavered—and her personal brand of grit, creativity, and authenticity has only grown stronger as she continues to support the next generation of artists and female executives in the music business.

The Future Sounds Like Us

What if the future of the music business was designed, not inherited? In this hands-on workshop, participants will use human-centered design tools to map how they show up inside today’s industry and build prototypes that reimagine how creativity, commerce, and care can coexist.

The session blends introspection with action, equipping leaders to return home with practical design tools to build toward a more human industry.

We’ll Explore:

1. Designing from the Inside Out

• Self-Awareness Mapping: Identify who you are versus who the industry expects you to be.
• Grounded Leadership: Recognize how personal alignment shapes ethical and creative decision-making.

2. Leading from Your Values

• Values in Action: Translate core beliefs into tangible leadership behaviors and team norms.
• Integrity by Design: Explore tools that help you operate from clarity rather than compliance.

3. Seeing the System Clearly

• Systems Reframing: Use design methods to uncover opportunities for repair, equity, and dignity.

4. Designing Futures That Broaden Benefit

• Future Foresight: Ask together, What would it look like? How would it feel? Who benefits, and who is burdened?
• Human-Centered Prototyping: Experiment with solutions that make creativity, commerce, and care coexist.

The Business of You: Accountability and Growth That Lasts

True growth comes from more than meeting deadlines or hitting deliverables. Growth isn’t getting bigger, it's getting better. It’s about holding yourself to your own standards, ethics, and values—while understanding deeper the cultures, communities, and people your work touches. Lasting impact is rooted in vision, grounded in integrity, and strengthened by intentional and ongoing accountability. It sounds like a lot—but growth built on accountability is both more meaningful and sustainable.

3:15 - 4:15 PM | Shatto Ballroom

Preparing for Transition: Proactive Ways to Take Charge

The session will cover key aspects of transitions, whether as an employee, entrepreneur, or job seeker; addressing practical, mental, and financial implications. The goal is to help people proactively plan before a transition, take charge when change happens, and turn these transitions into career-boosting opportunities rather than being caught unprepared.

A Casual Conversation on Work, Love, Family, and Everything Between

In the rush of building careers, conversations about love, marriage, and family often get pushed aside for “someday.” This informal community discussion brings those topics forward, exploring where personal growth meets professional success — from the emotional to the logistical to the financial. Together, we’ll reflect on roles, expectations, and redefining success in ways that honor both career and connection. This is for anyone contemplating partnership, navigating shifts in their current relationship, or simply curious about how to design an intentional life that balances love and work.

Unlocking Your Human Potential Through Play
In this hyperinteractive session, we’ll explore the tools we need to live well and unlock human potential—especially in industries where chronic stress has become the modern epidemic. Many of us are overstretched, operating in sensory overload, and working in silos within hybrid environments. These conditions are at odds with what creativity, collaboration, and high performance actually require.

Having worked with countless creative companies and executives, we understand the high-pressure, high-stakes environments this community navigates every day. It’s a space that needs more support—and we’ve seen firsthand how transformative this work can be.

Rooted in real-world experience, this session is a space for honest reflection and practical tools. Together, we’ll explore how to regulate stress, reconnect to purpose, and co-create environments that support sustainable success—for ourselves, our teams, and our creative work.

Small Ripples, Big Waves: The Compounding Effect of Tiny Changes

Lasting transformation doesn’t come from dramatic, top-down overhauls. It comes from the consistent application of small, intentional shifts—ripples—that compound over time to create powerful waves of change in leadership effectiveness, team culture, and business results.



In this interactive 60-minute session, you'll move from inspiration to implementation. You'll identify where you have the power to create change—in your leadership habits, team dynamics, or organizational outcomes—then design ripples you can start immediately. Using a simple framework to turn intentions into action, you'll leave with specific steps you'll actually do—even on your worst day.

From Courtship to Contract: Get Ready to Negotiate Your Next Move!

In the music business, too many creatives dive into long-term deals without understanding what they’re signing up for. Artists, songwriters, and producers often “say yes” to the first contract offered.  Well, music executives at every level do the exact same thing! They regularly accept new jobs, new roles, and new responsibilities without the reflection, clarity, or negotiation needed to set themselves up for success.

In this fun and interactive workshop, we will use a simple four-part framework to compare the early stages of contract negotiation to the courtship phase of a romantic relationship. Using worksheets, attendees will apply the rules of online dating to practice identifying what they want, don’t want, and need from a change in position, as well as how to communicate those needs, and gain strategies for building stronger, more intentional professional relationships.

4:15 - 5:15 PM | Gramercy Ballroom

Do the Evolution: A Keynote Conversation with Brandon Creed

Brandon Creed, Billboard’s 2025 Manager of the Year and Founder of Good World Management, will join the Summit on its final day for a keynote conversation, moderated by Bill Werde, award-winning journalist and Director of the Bandier Music Business Program at Syracuse University.

In this rare on-stage appearance, Creed will share lessons from pivotal chapters in his career — from helping manage Bruno Mars’s takeoff to working alongside icons like Irving Azoff and Clive Davis. At Good World, Creed currently oversees the careers of artists as vital and diverse as Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Troye Sivan, Tame Impala, and Demi Lovato, among others.
