ASCAP I Create Music EXPO

The only national conference dedicated to songwriting and composing

Take Advantage of Exclusive Career-Boosting
Performance and Film Scoring Opportunities
At the ASCAP "I Create Music" EXPO

The ASCAP "I CREATE MUSIC" EXPO is the only national conference dedicated to songwriting and composing. The conference brings together the community of music creators like no other music conference. Many great songwriters, composers, lyricists, publishers and producers will gather for top-notch songwriting and composing seminars, publishing and industry panels and multi-genre career-building workshops. In addition, the ASCAP EXPO is offering registrants several career-boosting opportunities at this year's conference, April 19-21, at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.

First, PUMP AUDIO, the #1 licensor of independent music in the world, is sponsoring special pool party performances at the EXPO. Several conference attendees will be selected to play a song or two at the Pump Audio Pool Party. The deadline for online submissions is April 13 and April 9 for snail mail. Pump Audio will also have a room at the ASCAP EXPO, and will be listening to ASCAP artists' music on late Wednesday, Thursday and early Friday to select two last-minute "wildcard" performers. So, if you miss the deadline, be sure to bring your music by Pump Audio's room.

"FYI - FILM YOUR ISSUE" is presenting an exclusive film scoring opportunity. EXPO attendees will be able to compose and submit an original score for five selected films from the 2007 "FYI - Film Your Issue" contest, an annual film competition that challenges young filmmakers to submit 30 to 60 second films about topical issues. Each registrant can submit up to one original score for each of the five selected films.

UNPARALLELED PANELISTS AND A PACKED AGENDA will cover a broad range of musical genres like jazz, symphonic, Latin, country, film and television, rock, pop, hip-hop, rap, musical theatre and opera. Recently confirmed panelists include GLEN BALLARD, ALF CLAUSEN, JOHN CORIGLIANO, KEYSHIA COLE, JERMAINE "JD" DUPRI, JIMMY JAM and TERRY LEWIS, SETH MACFARLANE, MC LYTE, RANDY NEWMAN, RUDY PEREZ, JOHN RICH, STEPHEN SCHWARTZ, THE UNDERDOGS (Harvey Mason, Jr. and Damon Thomas), JIMMY WEBB, BILL WITHERS, DAN ZANES and many more.

EXPO registrants are also invited to RSVP at no extra cost for the 2007 ASCAP POP MUSIC AWARDS, which will be held for the first time at the legendary Kodak Theatre adjacent to the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel on April 18, 2007, the eve of the EXPO. The awards show will recognize the songwriters and publishers of the most performed Pop songs of 2006. ASCAP will present Oscar and Grammy-winning songwriter and artist MELISSA ETHERIDGE with the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award. ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS will be honored with the ASCAP Vanguard Award. Principal All-American Rejects songwriters Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler will also receive two ASCAP Pop Awards for "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along," and will perform during the awards ceremony. Other 2007 ASCAP Pop Award-winning songwriters scheduled to perform include: Joe King and Isaac Slade of THE FRAY, NICK LACHEY, ANNA NALICK, and DARRELL BROWN, TY LACY and DENNIS MATKOSKY, the trio of ASCAP writers who penned Keith Urban's hit song, "You'll Think of Me." To attend the special awards show registrants must RSVP online with their EXPO registration number.
