At the Dallas conference, Gilli Moon (http://www.gillimoon.com),
president of Songsalive!, and Toni Koch (Songsalive! Artist Coordinator
and Warrior Girl Music A&R) will be speaking at the IMC on various

A few Panels and Workshops at IMC Dallas that include Songsalive! staff:
* PANEL: Digital Delivery… It's A Reality!
(Neil Sheehan, Gilli Moon, Richard Gabriel, Noel Ramos-Moderator)
Digital delivery is a reality. Now we are seeing how it is affecting the
market. Even in the short time that we have been utilizing this new
distribution method, it has already morphed considerably. Podcasting,
ring-tones, digi-singles, sound tracks, and other digital marketplaces
have already expanded this brand new opportunity. This panel will be a
cutting edge discussion of these critical developments. Topics will
include protection of intellectual property rights, digital distro
deals, and the state of the emerging digital delivery market.
* PANEL: Street Teaming and Buzz Building
(Ducado Vega, Susan Crandall, Neil Sheehan, Terry Coughlin, Don DeBiase,
Toni Koch-Moderator) Members of the promotional side of the market will
discuss the importance of incorporating a serious street teaming effort
into your overall indie marketing efforts. Methods for attracting
street teamers, rewarding them, managing the program and brainstorming
other new promotional ideas will be highlights.
* PANEL: Indie Booking and Touring
(Toni Koch, Ducado Vega, Susan Crandall, Gilli Moon-Moderator) Many
Indies realize the importance of watching their budget and utilizing DIY
methodology for their booking and touring efforts. But what's the point
of touring? This panel takes it to the next level. Maximize your
effectiveness: gig-swapping, interviews, airplay, promotion, retail.
Time is precious and touring is a massive undertaking; learn to tie in
all the critical elements. These experienced road warriors will help you
make the most of your efforts.
Some of the Workshops -
* MPWR Workshop – Artist Empowerment (Gilli Moon)
Define success on your own terms… professional artist development,
staying motivated, how to develop the right relationships, marketing and
promotional tools, and overcoming
obstacles. Gilli Moon hosts an MPWR (empower) Workshop to motivate you
beyond creativity, into the business world of the Professional Artist.
This workshop will help you take the next step with your artistry -
guiding, motivating, encouraging and providing tools, tips and solutions
to take your artistry into the world of the entertainment industry. Plus
tips on indie promotional and marketing strategies to put philosophy
into practice.
* Looking for Press in All the Right Places (Noel Ramos)
Noel has published a music magazine for 20 years. He'll relate his
experiences and results of surveys he's conducted with media peers. What
grabs their attention? What convinces them to print one band's story
over another? What do booking agents like to see? What else should you
keep in mind? Has the advent of EPKs changed things? These answers and
more from the perspective of those you want to target. Examples of press
kits will be shown, and a free hand-out of Noel's 7-page "Press Kit
Primer" will also be available for all workshop attendees
* * * * THE SONGSALIVE! SONGCAMP * * * *
Songsalive! conducts a 3-hour, high powered, focused songwriting camp
where songwriters and composers can gain valuable feedback on their
music, and collaborate in co-writing with other writers under the
guidance of special Songsalive! songwriter mentors. Songcamp starts
with a critique session on your songs, followed by an intensive
co-writing session where songwriters are split into breakout groups
under the guidance of mentors to co-write and deliver a completed song.

Subject: Publik Music
As a independent woman musician I am always looking for new sites that
promote indie music. Check out www.publikmusic.com. It is a really
cool site that features new, young, upcoming artists as well as more
established ones. I was even surprised by one or two of the artists
featured–didn\'t know they were still around! ALL the music is good!
Check out the videos for each artist–performance and interviews
together. Really well done!! I believe there is a Publik Music cable
channel in the Austin TX area. I haven\'t seen that–but the site is
sweet. I do believe that bands can contact them for consideration too.
Check it out!
