The people selected to Oteach at the Independent Music Conference are accomplished members of your peer group. They can speak to you from experience, because they are the hard working indies who are out there in the trenches everyday. They are the people actually making it happen and helping to build our newly emerging industry into a viable alternative to the existing system currently controlled by huge multi-national corporations. At IMC05 we’ll be discussing the issues that are of concern to independent musicians who want to sell their product directly to their fans. We’ll be talking about where we are right now, and where we would like our independent music industry to go as we move into the future. The agenda of classes last year proved highly effective, as did our policy of presenting each class more than once to prevent schedule conflicts for our attendees. Not only are we repeating many of last year’s great workshops, with the instructors returning again as well, but we’ve also added quite a few new classes that are sure to be of great value.
