"Never before has the availability of technology allowe d communication to occur in a decentralized
manner, and because of this, both "mainstream" as well as alternative artists are rethinking their career strategies both long and short-term. This phenomena was most apparent at the Global Entertainment & Media Summit, where thinkers and doers in many fields came from all over the world to exchange ideas and present platforms by which this evolution could occur in an effective and inclusive way. I was most impressed with the realistic outlook on the part of most of the participants, who fully understanding the difficulty of the task at hand, still seemed truly willing to tackle the obstacles ahead and to help create an industry that will be even better than the one which it will replace..." –Michael Masucci, Director / EZTV Media

It's my impression that you have always kept your finger on the pulse of emerging technology and that you have been able to predict it's profound influence on the music industry - most obviously demonstrated by your creation of the NY Music and Internet Expo (even before the crest of the dot.com wave) and have kept that momentum with GEMS conference.
There are few individuals who understand the impact of the convergence of technology and entertainment better than yourselves. Celia Black, VP, Business Development, Kurzweil Technologies
