- 3 min read
Most music events talk about the industry from a distance.
Tomorrow night, the Green Tea Industry Workshop brings it right into the room.
On Wednesday, November 19, Sovereign Creatives will host an intimate, working-night-style gathering in Vancouver where artists, producers, and creatives can get real insight, real feedback, and real connections. The night is powered by Green Tea, presented in collaboration with Beatcave, GS2N ENT, and Sovereign Creatives, with support from 68.0.ent, Meesch, and Dinah Kisil.
If you are serious about understanding where the music business is heading and how your art fits into that future, this is one of those nights you show up for.

A Room Led By Someone Who Actually Builds Careers
The anchor for the night is a deep-dive panel led by 3x Grammy-nominated label executive David Dann of Mind of a Genius, the label behind globally recognized artists and forward-thinking releases.
David is not coming to repeat clichés you have heard a hundred times. He is here to break down:
The realities of today’s music landscape
How long-term artist development really works in 2025
The cultural direction that is shaping the next wave of music and careers
If you have ever wanted a label executive to tell you what actually matters and what does not, this is the setting.

Play Your Music, Get Direct Feedback
This is not just “sit, listen, go home.”
Throughout the evening, artists will be called up to play their music and receive direct, unfiltered feedback from David himself.
That means:
You hear how someone at a serious label hears your record
You get live reaction, not a form email
You learn what is working, what is confusing, and what might be holding you back
Even if you are not the one playing your song, being in the room while others get that kind of critique is a masterclass in how decision makers think.

After The Panel: A Mixer Built For Real Connection
Once the panel and listening portion wraps, the room shifts into a networking mixer designed to connect people who actually do things.
You will be in a space with:
Artists looking for producers and collaborators
Producers looking for vocalists, writers, and clients
Creatives and organizers plugged into different corners of the Vancouver and global music ecosystem
No giant convention centre energy. An intimate room where you can actually hear each other, trade ideas, swap contacts, and start relationships that go beyond “we should work sometime.”

Why Beatcave Is In The Room
Beatcave is part of this workshop for the same reason we build CAMP and all of our other experiences: access, education, and output.
For Vancouver creatives, this night sits right at that intersection:
Access: You are in the room with a label executive who sees where the global market is heading and is actively working in it.
Education: You get a clear breakdown of how the business is moving instead of guessing through social media noise.
Output: You can play your records, test how they hit, and leave with concrete ideas on how to improve and position your catalog.
For us, this is about plugging Vancouver’s talent into conversations and perspectives that usually live in bigger markets, and doing it in a way that still feels local, grounded, and community focused.

Who This Night Is For
You will get the most out of this workshop if you are:
An artist actively releasing or about to release music
A producer who wants to understand where the sound and the business are heading
A songwriter or creative who wants to be closer to the decision makers shaping what gets pushed forward
If you are tired of vague “networking nights” and want something with real substance, this is one you prioritize.

How To Show Up Prepared
A few ways to make this night count:
Bring your best work. If there is a chance your song is played, you want it to represent who you are right now.
Have your links ready. Make it easy for people to find you after. A simple Linktree, website, or smart link goes a long way.
Come with questions. Think about what you actually want clarity on: rollout strategy, label interest, building a fanbase, team structure, anything that is blocking your next step.
Be open to feedback. The whole point is to hear the truth from someone who has nothing to gain from sugar coating it.
