Milwaukee's Yellow Phone Music Conference returns for the 3rd year, and will be held from September 5 - 8. If you are not familiar with Yellow Phone Music Conference, think of it as a very mini version of SXSW. The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency hotel, and music performance will be held throughout the city. This year's keynote speech will be by Milwaukee native and President of Elektra records Jeff Castelez. Here are some of the panels:
- MUSIC SUPERVISORS AND MUSIC DIRECTORS: THE NEW ROCK STARS OF THE MUSIC BIZ?
- INTERNATIONAL TOURING: THE INS AND OUTS OF BEING A GLOBETROTTER
- SOCIAL MEDIA HABITS... OH, WHAT A WEB WE WEAVE!
- IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD AN ATTORNEY, ONE WILL BE APPOINTED FOR YOU...
- VIDEO DIDN'T KILL THE RADIO STAR. NEITHER DID THE INTERNET.
- BUYERS AND SELLERS, HUNTERS AND GATHERERS
- ENDORSEMENT DEALS AND SPONSORSHIPS - DOESN'T ANYBODY LIKE ME?
- ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING YOUR TEAM
- NON-COMMERCIAL AND COLLEGE RADIO: HOW DO YOU MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU?
