The New Music Seminar announces the final program for the Chicago NMS Symphony. This one-day educational and networking event for Artists, Managers, music labels, and others in the music business, will reveal the secrets of the emerging new music business; its new paradigm and new opportunities, as well as tools and examples of how to achieve success in the new era.
The New Music Seminar, which for 15 years was the #1 music conference in the world, will again be the number one place for networking and building business partnerships that will become the foundations of the new music business. The NMS will provide delegates with opportunities to meet with the leaders of the new music business, get the advice, information and tools to do it themselves.
The New Music Seminar has replaced the old “panels and moderators” approach with a Symphony of ideas in four Movements. Each Movement will have a Conductor and four or more Players. The following is the full listing.
Keynote Address: Michael Spiegelman-Head of Yahoo! Music

Expose Yourself! Marketing for the next music business; MySpace, Facebook and Twitter are not enough.
