From January 19-23, 2007, FMC partnered once again with the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) on their 50th Annual Conference, "Presenting America: Perspectives and Dialogue," taking place at the Hilton New York.
This year, FMC curated a technology track called "Creating Culture", which included four sessions on technology and business. In conjunction with this track, we organized a Creating Culture blog, chock full of online tools and resources used by web savvy professionals from all areas of the performing arts field, from Flickr, YouTube, and Surveymonkey to MySpace, online listservs, storage, and RSS. http://apapcreatingculture.blogspot.com/
We also hosted a session on Media Ownership.
For follow up on the blog or "Creating Culture" at APAP 2007, email our Outreach Director Jean Cook at jean@futureofmusic.org
