The Connective Panel series has gained a great deal of momentum, following its first successful, regional panel in Atlanta. We had a great turn out and raised over $500 for the Georgia Music Industry Assoication. I am already planning the 2009 panel in Atlanta for the Spring/Summer. In addition, the Series has a new sponsor: Music Connection Magazine. The Series has created a new Entertainment Industry Advisory Board. Inaugural members will be announced soon. Music Connection is donating free issues of its magazine to attendees of the Connective Panel Series, offering 15% off subscription rates , and providing a one year subscription to their magazine for our silent auctions.
