Inaugural Forum

Music & Media held its inaugural meeting in New York City on January 19 and 20, 2006, in collaboration with the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. In two days of interactive, facilitated discussions, a coalition of charter sponsors and key stakeholders explored possible futures for music and media in order to build and broaden audiences for the musical arts in America.

The work was facilitated by the Global Business Network, the world's premier organization devoted to helping clients learn about and adapt to the trends that will shape their long-range futures. GBN is best known for its pioneering work developing scenarios as a tool for strategy, innovation, alignment, and learning. Andrew Blau and Kristin Cobble from GBN led the 2-day session.

Participants in the January ’06 Forum were an invited group of leaders in music performance, music presentation and media, including public media organizations, musicians, educators, artist managers, label representatives and music industry service organizations.
