Summit10 brings musicians, managers, technologists, policymakers, media mavens, academics and industry experts for three days of informative and engaging discussions about the future of music. We want you to be part of the conversation.
We don’t want to belabor the point about how INCREDIBLE this year’s event is, but here are just some of the highlights:
Sunday, October 3 is musicians’ day, with presentations and interactive discussions on subjects ranging from fan analytics to direct-to-consumer case studies to the possible impact of health care reform on musicians. Artists and music entrepreneurs are sure to welcome Ariel Hyatt, who will present her sought-after “master class” on music marketing and social media on Sunday morning.
Musician scholarships are going fast!
On Monday and Tuesday, programming will include presentations, interviews, and panel discussions about the future of the music industry, government’s role in sustaining creative communities, artists as cultural ambassadors, and the viability of music delivery moving to “the cloud.” In addition, attendees will choose from nearly a dozen “supersessions” on topics ranging from copyright issues to artist activism. Each day wraps with a cocktail party, and many attendees will head over to the Black Cat Monday, October 4 for an all-star benefit concert (on-sale tomorrow at www.blackcatdc.com).
Check out what the FMC crew is looking forward to most about Summit10!

You can probably tell that we’re very excited about this once-in-a-lifetime concert experience!
Future of Music Coalition and Air Traffic Control Present:
Dear New Orleans - A Benefit Concert
Monday, Oct. 4, 2010
Since Hurricane Katrina, a diverse group of musicians have headed to the cradle of American music to learn firsthand about efforts to rebuild and sustain this vital city and its music communities. To mark the five-year anniversary of Katrina and the floods, dozens of these musicians have contributed to the critically-acclaimed compilation, Dear New Orleans. The album benefits nonprofits working to support the region’s unique musical and cultural traditions and to protect and restore crucial environment and community resources. This D.C. show pays tribute to the city of music with one-of-a-kind collaborations between album artists and celebrated New Orleans musicians.
