The Event Production Industry Covid-19 Working Group is a coalition of skilled event industry workers who represent the interests and concerns of individuals and businesses involved in producing live events and performances. With 3,500 full-time and 15,000 part-time members, they have come together to address the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and advocate for those working in live event production.

Their goals are to support and promote the concerns and interests of those in the industry, particularly in relation to Covid-19 payments and the Wage Subsidy Scheme. They aim to lay the foundation for a longer-standing group that can represent the needs of those working within live events.

The Working Group is divided into four sector groups: crew, contractors, promoters/venues, and event/production management. If you want to join a specific group or discuss a particular issue, you can reach out to the group at [email protected].

Additionally, the Working Group has launched support initiatives like the EvntzApp #WeAreTheSupportAct campaign, which sells merchandise to help those affected in the live music events industry. They also have a GoFundMe page for donations. Contact the Event Production Industry Covid-19 Working Group at [email protected] for more information.
