The San Diego Music Thing (formerly known as the North Park Music Thing- NPMT) is now in its fourth year drawing music industry professionals, talented musicians and aspiring professionals to beautiful San Diego, California. This year’s event will be September 9 and 10 at the historic Lafayette Hotel in North Park – one of San Diego’s thriving arts communities. The event offers attendees an opportunity to improve their knowledge of the music business through interactive and roundtable sessions with nationally-known panelists and featured speakers who represent the best and most innovative aspects of the music business; as well as an evening Music Festival component, with over 100 local, regional and national bands performing at 15 venues around San Diego.
The annual event is presented by the San Diego Music Foundation (www.sandiegomusicfoundation.org) , a non-profit organization founded in 1991 to make experiential music programs available to children of need in San Diego County. The SDMF also organizes the San Diego Music Awards show, recognizing artists of exceptional merit in the community, and provides professional development opportunities for current and emerging musicians.

1. Music industry 101: The Basics 2011
2. How To Develop a Coordinated Social Media Plan Without Spending a Bundle
3. Music DIY - Is it realistic?
4. Do bands in 2011 really need a full time manager?
