Things are really shaping up for our third D.C. Policy Day, which takes place at the National Geographic Music and Radio and National Geographic Live! here in Washington on February 11, 2009. Coming hot on the heels of a new federal administration, the event will shed light on how changes in the policymaking landscape might affect the music community.
We just added some incredible names to an already stellar roster of speakers and panelists - this event is a must-attend event for anyone interested in how policy and copyright law intersects with music and technology.
Register now!
As always, we have a limited number of musician scholarships available, so get on it!
