WHAT’S NEW?: We plan to have color coded name badges so you will know with one glance who is in a band, works for a radio station, a publication, etc… We will have food available. We will have food bracelets available for 3 bucks that will allow you to eat as much as you’d like. We’ll have a more organized 50/50 raffle section, more table for bands and vendors to set up swag, and we are working on a segment where we’ll allow folks to quickly introduce themselves and explain who they are and who they are looking to network with. If you have other ideas on how we can improve this event please email [email protected]
If you are a music blogger, radio personality, talent buyer, promoter, photographer, web designer, graphic designer, recording studio, journalist, apparel company, etc. we’d love to have you in attendance, Please contact [email protected] to discuss your involvement.
BANDS/MUSICIANS do NOT need to “apply”. Just show up!
