Future of Music Summit | Nov 13, 2012
Greetings, FMC fans! Future of Music Summit 2012 is fast approaching; it’s all happening on November 13, just one week after election day. This year’s installment is a special one-day post-election edition of our annual event, jampacked with some of the brightest minds in music, technology, and policy.
And awesomely, our summit is already at full capacity! We’re thrilled to see such an enthusiastic response, but if you haven’t registered, that doesn’t mean you can’t participate. We’ve teamed up with New America Foundation to host a live webcast of the entire event, start-to-finish, and we encourage you to share feedback and submit questions via Twitter and Facebook. This means regardless of whether you’re with us here in DC, your voice can be heard.
If you’d like to be placed on the waitlist to attend the event in person, please send an email to waitlist [at] futureofmusic [dot] org, and we’ll be in touch as seats become available. Otherwise, plan to join us virtually! As always, video archives will be made available after the event.
Help us spread the word!
