Music Industry Night – Forward Fest Edition 
Monday August 18, 2025 7:00pm - 10:00pm CDT
Every other Monday night, something special happens at COPA — local musicians take the stage, the house band keeps the energy flowing, and artists, producers, and music lovers come together to share ideas, stories, and sounds. It’s not just a jam session; it’s a chance to jam with other musicians, meet the people behind the music, connect with others building creative careers, and be part of a growing community that supports each other’s work. Forward Fest gives us the perfect reason to turn up the volume, welcome new faces, and keep building something real — together. COPA exists to make space for artists and entrepreneurs, and Monday Industry Night is one of the ways we do it.

Community Organizations Promoting the Arts empowers community arts organizations and creative professionals by providing space that promotes programming for both youth and adults, so they can collectively advance missions, achieve goals, expand access to critical resources and create—together.  https://copamadison.org/

Minimum Viable SEO: How to Boost Your Visibility & Credibility On a Budget
Wednesday August 20, 2025 7:30am - 9:00am CDT
Description:

If you’re already investing in content marketing but haven’t seen real results from SEO—or haven’t tried it at all—this talk is for you. SEO today isn’t about gaming the algorithm or writing dry, keyword-stuffed blog posts. It’s about making sure your best content gets discovered by the right people, at the exact moment they’re searching for solutions like yours.

In this session, content strategist and SEO consultant Olivia Barrow will show you how to integrate modern SEO best practices into your existing content workflows—even if you only publish one article a month. You’ll learn how to validate your content ideas with keyword research, create articles that match search intent, and optimize posts so they rank better in search without sacrificing clarity or credibility.

This is not a technical SEO workshop—it’s a practical, approachable framework for small marketing teams that want to get more ROI from content they’re already creating. Whether you’ve had disappointing SEO results in the past or have never touched it, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable process for increasing your visibility and establishing your brand as a trusted authority in your industry.

Key Takeaways:

Why traditional “SEO content” no longer works—and what to do instead

How to layer SEO onto a content strategy focused on thought leadership and trust

A simple keyword research method for validating blog topics

How to structure and optimize articles to match search intent & reader knowledge level

How to tap into internal expertise to add original insights to your content

When and how to use GenAI to enhance your content

How to get started even if your site has technical issues or past content that’s not optimized
