Last year, Springfield hosted its first ever Self-Employment in the Arts Conference. Based on the tremendous turnout last year, we feel this event is something people are interested in, and that the music industry should be involved in too.

Our project team was able to meet with the organizer of the conference and worked out a deal to get a tract specifically for musicians in this year's conference.

THIS is HUGE for us. There are only 7 SEA Conferences held in the US and Springfield has one! And we're involved!

More info will be coming, but here's the basics:

Date: March 14th
Time: 9:30-4
Location: Trustee Science Center - Drury University
Springfield, MO
Cost: $50.

This event is a great opportunity for those looking to make music their career, or just play for some extra income.
Topics to be covered:
- Promoting, Marketing, and Selling Your Music
- Legal Matters in the Arts
- Production in Today's Music Industry
- Artists as Bookkeepers.

There are also 2 presentations by the keynote speaker, lunch, and a Q&A panel.
