From the Producers of the highly-acclaimed New York Music and Internet Expo and the Global Entertainment and Media Summit comes the next generation of forward-thinking events dedicated to the creative communities.
EVOLUTION IN MEDIA: READ THE INTERVIEW WITH FRANCIS FORD COPOLLA WHERE HE STATES THAT THE CINEMA WORLD IS FALLING APART. THIS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A CLEAR INSIGHT TO OUR NEW DIRECTION.
This brings Change Agents from the Worlds of Music, Film and Media together with Companies dedicated to making the world a better place thru Sustainable Energy, Alternative Health & Wellness, Alternative Energy, Uniting "Artists and Industry Dedicated to Change," with the companies that are making it possible.
The event will still take place at the Hollywood Beach Resort, May 1-2 in Hollywood. This excited me tremendously, as there are many more sponsor and exhibitor prospects in South Florida in these worlds than in music and film.

ABOUT US
"Never before has the availability of technology allowe d communica tion to occur in a decentralized m anner, and because of this, both "mainstream" as well as alternative artists are rethinking their career strategies both long and short-term. This phenomena was most apparent at the Global Entertainment & Media Summit, where thinkers and doers in many fields came from all over the world to exchange ideas and present platforms by which this evolution could occur in an effective and inclusive way. I was most impressed with the realistic outlook on the part of most of the participants, who fully understanding the difficulty of the task at hand, still seemed truly willing to tackle the obstacles ahead and to help create an industry that will be even better than the one which it will replace..." –Michael Masucci, Director / EZTV Media
"Rocking the Boat!"

"Independent filmmakers and musicians gather to learn how to use the Web and beat the system."
---New England Film
"Kudos to you!
---Creative Labs
"Net Music's Curtain Call"
----Wired
"Enough energy to light an entire city"
----Emusic
*****************************
It's my impression that you have always kept your finger on the pulse of emerging technology and that you have been able to predict it's profound influence on the music industry - most obviously demonstrated by your creation of the NY Music and Internet Expo (even before the crest of the dot.com wave) and have kept that momentum with GEMS conference.
There are few individuals who understand the impact of the convergence of technology and entertainment better than yourselves. Celia Black, VP, Business Development, Kurzweil Technologies
