August, 2003 -- In 1999, Making Moves CEO, Ronnie Avery, Event Planner, along with Mastermind and Neely, Inc. hosted the Missy Elliott Music and Video Conference. Hundreds of participants from all over the Virginia, North Carolina, District of Columbia and Maryland area traveled to Hampton Roads to help us celebrate. The economic impact of this event on the local businesses was acute and tangible.

The event made it possible for vendors and sponsors associated with the event to experience an overwhelming increase in recognition, sales and revenue. Participation and support included representation from various local businesses, music educators, music recording labels media and many more. We expect the same to hold true for this event.
