Future of Music Coalition

FMC at APAP
------------------------------------------
FMC is working with the Association of Performing Arts Presenters to program panels for their annual member conference at the Hilton in New York City, January 21-24, 2006. Included among these is a FREE public session on Sunday, January 22 called "Media Ownership Matters", an overview of the media reform movement and the FCC, with experts from the policy, legislative, and touring and performing artist areas to discuss issues such as the upcoming media ownership proceedings, Low Power FM and the transition to digital radio.

Other panels FMC is programming during the conference include "Defining the Digital Marketplace" on Sunday, January 22, which will examine how technological advances of the last decade have completely transformed the marketplace for nonprofits and artist organizations working with live performances and touring artists; and a FREE for artists "how to" session on the mechanics, aesthetics and economics of podcasting and internet radio on Tuesday, January 24.
