Event Promotion Survey

In order to better understand the business of promotion in Chicago, especially as it relates to how risk is shared between promoters and venue owners, CMC is conducting an on-line survey of promoters in Chicago and those who work with them. This is not a professional assessment that CMC believes should be done at some point. Rather, this is a survey that will provide CMC with useful data that will inform our position on the event promoter ordinance now under consideration in the City Council. We will also share the aggregate results of the survey with City officials.

CMC will keep all information sought below anonymous at all times.
