YWA Speaks: Speaker Series - Unlocking the VIP Experience: Music Industry Insights with Lauren Garcia of C3 Presents

Description

The Young Women’s Alliance (YWA) is a nonprofit organization devoted to the professional and personal development of women leaders in Central Texas. For more than 30 years, YWA has been a staple in the Austin community, driven by our four pillars: lead, educate, network, and serve. 

From smaller shows to fantastic festivals, the Austin music scene is certainly noteworthy. As we move through the YWA Speaker Series 23-24 lineup, our headliner this September will be Lauren Garcia, Premium Sales and Guest Services Manager at C3 Presents. Lauren has worked in the entertainment industry for the past decade with experience at C3 Presents (sound familiar to you music fans?) and the beloved Paramount Theatre. Please join us at this month’s speaker series event as Lauren shares her story, experiences, and insights.
