Ticketing Industry Leadership Team (TILT)
FutureTix has formed a select group of blue-chip ticketing professionals to participate in its Ticketing Industry Leadership Team (TILT). The group will discuss and review the latest in revenue generating ticketing functionality with a particular focus on trends and the future direction of ticketing and admissions in the entertainment industry.
WHO
This select group's makeup was designed to represent a cross section of venues covering a variety of ticketing genres and system platforms. Members will represent pro-sport, university, performing arts, arena ticketing and more. See member list below.
WHAT
The focus of this group will be to identify and discuss the merits of various ticketing trends and their impact on the future of the entertainment industry. The varying perspectives will help us stay in tune with the ticketing pulse. FutureTix will provide current topics and moderators (in some cases third party presentations as food for thought).
WHEN
T.I.L.T. will meet quarterly. Once annually in person, and three times per year via a 90 minute GoTo Meeting conference call. The annual in person get-together will consist of an overnight ticketing symposium, centrally located, and sponsored by FutureTix. The mini-conference will be held on a Tuesday/Wednesday with afternoon meetings on Tuesday and morning meetings on Wednesday allowing for a quick over night turn-around. Sandwiched between those meetings will be a fun-filled, five-star dinner and cocktail gathering compliments of FutureTix.
WHERE
The Second Annual TILT Symposium will be held in Fort Worth, Texas on November 8/9th.
HOW
The T.I.L.T. symposium and quarterly sessions will be filled with current and futuristic ticketing topics that shape our industry. Members share their thoughts and ask questions.
WHY
With an ever-evolving technology branching rapidly in a variety of directions and a confused economy, there is a need now more than ever to identify and perhaps even steer the direction in which ticketing is heading.

Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future." - Edwin H. Friedman
