So I've got the plane tickets, hotel and RR registration. I'll be there a few days early, so hit me up if you want to network, hang out or make music.
Can't wait to see you all!!

If you are coming to your first rally (or even if you've been to others), I suggest you wear a dot on your badge. This makes it easy for forum folks to find other forum folks in the sea of hundreds or thousands of people. It worked really well for us many years back. Any stationary store dot will do. Or draw your own. Anything works!

I'm booked and planned. I have no idea what my 15 second spiel is supposed to be. But there's still time for that...

I posted this on another thread about elevator pitches. It's my opinion.
Casey H wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 7:02 amTBH, I think this whole subject is way overblown and talked about too much. As I mentioned earlier, 95% or more of your communications will be virtual. On the small odds that you do an elevator ride with a music exec, the last thing you should do is start blabbering about yourself. And if that person asks what you do, a simple "I write cues for Film/TV" or similar is enough, a sales pitch is not appreciated. If you end up hanging at the bar with someone like that, do not talk about yourself or your music at all unless asked. And again, the short answer above is fine. If they want more info, a business card with your website URL is a good idea. Don't press. They've had a long day and want to chill.
It's probably more important to have a decent bio on your website(s)- concise, not your whole life story. If someone visits your website, what do you want them to read that will keep them there? It's like the start of a song-- you want the listener to be drawn in and not click to the next. Not meaning to change the subject to bios, that can be a whole different thread. Just pointing out that IMHO WAY too much time is spent on this subject.
Also, this topic goes hand in hand with expectations for people who attend a rally. If your main purpose is to meet music execs and be "discovered", you may walk away disappointed. The rally is about learning and getting to know your peers (future collaborators) as much as anything else. Yes, some great connections do get made with execs. But don't go to the rally with the main purpose of meeting these folks as you are one of thousands there and they get hit up all the time.
