The North Park Music Thing - San Diego Music & Media Conference and Festival is a three day music event, which is scheduled to take place August 7-9, 2009 at the Lafayette Hotel. All conference registrants will learn about the music business during panel discussions, workshops and demo review sessions. NPMT will feature speakers who have been involved in local, regional, and national music. On Saturday, following the workshops, NPMT will showcase nearly 150 musical acts from the Southwestern United States, on up to 20 stages in San Diego, California.
All proceeds from the North Park Music Thing will be donated to the San Diego Music Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses its efforts on local musician assistance, music education, professional development, live performance and the annual San Diego Music Awards show recognizing creative achievement in the San Diego music community. The Foundation’s primary goal is to advance artistic growth and increase understanding, appreciation, enjoyment and interest in music and its ability to enhance and enrich the City of San Diego.
