Elevation Beaver Creek was born from the success of Live In The Vineyard (LITV) and Live In The Vineyard Goes Country (LITVGC), and it brought together premier travel destinations and performances by both new and established artists. Attendees enjoyed culinary delights, winemaker pours, and uniquely curated activities. Elevation drew music supervisors, radio programmers, DSP curators, label executives, VIPs, corporate hospitality groups, and more from around the country, providing a platform for artists to fully embrace their creativity and engage in adventurous activities, sometimes led by the artists themselves.
Elevation successfully brought elements of Napa to new hand-selected markets and locations that embodied Zen and beauty, allowing artists and industry professionals to embrace local culture. Artist interests and passions were a central focus, with exploration integrated into the programming through select artist-engaged adventures, such as skeet shooting, fly fishing, tequila tasting and more.
This year’s in-person attendance at Elevation was limited and exclusively open to invited industry guests, including music supervisors, radio programmers, label executives, and corporate partners. Private VIP performances were held exclusively for select groups.
Elevation is produced by Forefront Networks, a related party company to FF Entertainment.
