The Industry's Alternative Comes to The Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Convention

I would like to announce that I will be speaking at the first annual Coast 2 Coast Mixtape convention taking place in NYC at Club Touch on August 22nd. I will be speaking on the same panel as other new media professionals who are innovative and have opened up many avenues of promotion via the net for independent artists to use to gain exposure. Coast 2 Coast mixtapes is the biggest mixtape retailer and distributor that ever existed, so it's truly a pelasure to be included in the panel. I will be covering topics of how independent artists can use new media to create a dominate online presence, and I will also be talking about The Industry's Alternative services and how artists (Signed and Unsigned can take advantage of it) I will also be presenting for the first time, our brand new partnership with new media company "Socialcord".
