Anyone thinking of going?

I'd go if I was in NYC on March 10th. Are they doing one in LA?

Yes it will be in New York City on March 10.Frederick P. Rose Hall, Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center - Broadway at 60th Street, New York, NY.ASCAP will be having the "I Create Music" April 23-25 in LA. The NYC event is for one day. It appears to be a smaller version of the "I Create Music" gathering.I was thinking of flying out to LA for the "I Create Music" event, but I decided to purchase a new custom built computer specifically for audio rather than go to LA. So this caught my eye and I figured I'd mention it on the forum. $55 bucks is amazing considering the events of the day and a keynote by a Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter.GB

ASCAP has posted the panel members for the New York Sessions. May be a good opporutnity for someone to slip an A&R VP a disk.http://www.ascap.com/eventsawards/event ... x--Camille Hackney - SVP, Brand Partnerships and Commercial Licensing - Atlantic Records --Richard Stumpf - SVP, Creative Services/A&R and Marketing - Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co--Jason Jordan - VP, A&R - Hollywood Records --Jake Ottmann - VP, Creative, East Coast - EMI Music Publishing --Ty Stiklorius - Manager, John Legend - The Artists Organization; Partner - JL Ventures, Inc. --David Bendeth - Producer - Paramore, Hawthorne Heights, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Breaking Benjamin --Gavin Haverstick - Acoustical and Audio Engineer --Casey McPherson - Lead Singer, Songwriter – Alpha Rev --Joshua Moore - Producer, Programmer, Musical Director - Alpha Rev --Courtney Harding - Indies Correspondent - Billboard Magazine
