How Can We Use Fan / Stan Data in the Music Industry to Increase Voter Turnout?

Elections are decided by the size of concert venues. Meanwhile what statistically determines if someone votes is if their community votes. As music fans we know the power of stan communities. At the same time, culture and voting have worked together for years. Yet now with the power of data how can we activate music fan communities to statistically increase voter turnout & more?

Led by SNF Agora Visiting Fellow & #iVoted Concerts CEO Emily White, this is an informative, informal and interactive brainstorming workshop to share how Emily, Professor Eliza O'Reilly & JHU students Jasmine Lafita, Jackson Shapiro & Tomoya Furutani have been analyzing fan / stan data on the top trending artists in key locations whose electoral margins are decided by the size of concert venues. They have been simultaneously comparing artists' fans' demographic data with traditionally low turnout groups to share which artists can impact increasing voter turnout the most. We also want to hear from you! How do you as as a JHU student and/or community member feel we can utilize fan / stan demographic data for artists and their teams to make informed decisions on supporting important causes? No preparation required to attend + light refreshments will be served.
