ASCAP New York Sessions - A One-Day Music Career Boost - March 10

[Mercantiller]

Hey there,

While not a "jam" per say, here is some info about an upcoming event in New York for songwriters and composers. The "New York Sessions" is going to be like ASCAP's "I Create Music" EXPO held in LA in April, but on a smaller, one-day, scale. I've been to the LA event and thought it was great. Considerably better than your typical music conference. Met a lot of people and made some good contacts and even picked some. The NY event should be a lot of fun. FYI, you do not have to be an ASCAP member to attend.

From ASCAP's website:

ASCAP New York Sessions
A One-Day Music Career Boost
Keynote Interview with Rob Thomas

Can't get enough of the "I Create Music" EXPO? Can't get to it in April? ASCAP is now pleased to offer New York Sessions, a one-day career boosting event for songwriters and composers, featuring a special keynote interview with Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Rob Thomas, at the Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, in Manhattan on March 10. If you are a music creator, New York Sessions will provide you with the opportunity to connect with ASCAP's top songwriters, composers and producers, and experience educational panels, inspiring speakers, informative technology demos and more – all to help you strengthen the skills, knowledge and craft you need to make it in today's music business. Sessions will cover Marketing, Digital Distribution, Airplay, Recording, Publishing and will end with an ASCAP super panel of top songwriters, composers and producers.

The ASCAP folks are well thought of by many in the Cafe Community.
