Well, there's no denying that summer's here and in addition to dancin' in the streets, the time is also right for getting out to some music business seminars—like these, for example:

Global Entertainment + Media Summit
New York, New York
Phone: 973-228-4450
Internet: www.globalentertainment.com
What's really cool about this summit is that you get the Big Picture—you get a glimpse of media on an international level so you can plan for future activities. This is a gathering of mostly pros, but the topics are enthralling none the less. And there's nothing quite like the Big Apple in the heat of the summer!

Texas Summer Music Conference
Dallas, Texas
Phone: 214-282-8933
Internet: www.texassummermusicconference.com
If it's true that they do everything bigger in Texas, than this is a conference you won't want to miss. Kinda the follow-up to SXSW, this one is filled to the brim with music, relevant business discussions, and things to keep you busy all four days. Get a schedule so you won't miss out on your favorite panels. Highly recommended.
