Music,Film, DV, HD, Media and Multimedia Leaders Meet with Artists and Entertainers at Global Entertainment and Media Summit

Considered the most productive and pro-active entertainment industry event dedicated to artist empowerment---the GEMSummit returns to New York April 3-4 and adds L.A. date for June 12-13

(PRWEB) January 26, 2004 --"At a time of considerable consolidation in the media and in the touring industries, it is important that the music industry re-invents itself in order to have a solid foundation as it once did." -- John Scher

To say that the entertainment industry is in a state of upheaval is clearly an understatement, as we are now seeing the continuing decline of CD sales, an ever-growing blizzard of lawsuits and the continued consolidation among the largest companies in our industry.
Doing business the same old way no longer makes sense, but its successor hasn't yet clearly emerged. And for those working in the film business, don't be complacent -- you're about to confront many of the same issues if you aren't already. That's why attending the Global Entertainment & Media Summit makes so much sense for anyone involved in either of these businesses.

We've always been strong advocates of artists becoming better educated about their chosen fields and understanding how they work, because artist empowerment starts with education.
The two upcoming Global Entertainment & Media Summits -- to be held in New York April 3rd and 4th, 2004 and in Los Angeles on June 12th and 13th, 2004 -- allow you to not only learn more about how the industry is changing, it allows you to become an active participant rather than an idle bystander.

These events champion the change in the entertainment landscape, as it offers new opportunities for artists and the industry to come together to share their visions and creativity. It's a chance for you to meet with and hear from the people who are going to help make it happen.
These two-day events, very affordably priced, bring together industry leaders from entertainment, media and technology companies, content creators, marketers, distributors and everyone in between that works in the Music, Film, DV, Media, New Media and Multimedia worlds. It's also a conference in which you can not only listen to others, but stand up and have your say!
