Friends, I hope you’ve had a great summer! It’s South By Southwest music conference voting time again. Several colleagues and I have submitted an idea for a panel titled The Future of Music Business Education in Communities. We would greatly appreciate your vote of support for the proposal. It takes only a minute or two (may require login if you’ve not voted before) to give us a “Vote Up” in the upper left corner of the proposal. We’d also appreciate even the briefest of words of support in the “Comments” section at the bottom. Here’s the link to the detailed proposal: https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/115780
As the business of music grows increasingly more complex and competitive, it will be more vital than ever that community aspiring musicians have access to the knowledge and networks vital to their success. What organizational models exist, how are they funded, and how could policymakers and stakeholders implement or partner with them? How do we assure equality and inclusion in the access to these programs, including for youth? In this panel conversation we will explore those questions and others while discussing established and pilot programs aimed at providing music business knowledge and access to all. We will look ahead at the future of music business education and professional development within communities and the implications to local music ecosystems and economies going forward.
We’d also appreciate you forwarding this to anyone else you know who might want to support us. Voting ends TODAY, Thursday, August 26th, at 11:59 PST (that’s 9:59 MDT).

Amplify Music, in fact, sprang forth from a SXSW-approved proposal that got canceled with the Pandemic in 2019.
SXSW (aka South by Southwest) gains its content by a large number of people proposing panels — and asks the public to vote. Voting ends Thursday at http://www.panelpicker.sxsw.edu, and many proposals are working hard to get community votes, which help these get chosen. (Want some great ideas? Scour the Panelpicker for all sorts of intriguing thought leaders in music, tech, and beyond.)
We ourselves have one to suggest — which sprang from ideas from Amplify Music 2021! Gigi Johnson and Storm Gloor, along with Nurit Siegel Smith (Music Forward Foundation) and Micah Dalton (ATL Collective), have submitted an idea for a panel titled The Future of Music Business Education in Communities. Here’s the link: https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/115780
Please vote! It only takes a minute or two (may require login if you’ve not voted before) to give a “Vote Up” in the upper left corner of the proposal at the link below.
