IMC/LA 2008 WAS A GREAT SUCCESS! THANK YOU TO ALL!

NEWS:

10/14/08
IMC/LA WAS A RECORD BREAKING EVENT! With well over 230 pre-registered, and walk-up attendees, this IMC has set a new record. Additionally, we've never seen such a huge turnout of powerful industry people, IMC/LA was the largest collection of knowledge and experience that we have ever assembled.

10/4/08
IMC/LA WILL EXCEED 200 ATTENDEES!!! We currently have over 175 pre-registered attendees, and many more will walk-up at the event. This will very likely be the largest attendance of any IMC to date. It's important to note the distinction between attendees at other conferences who simply go to the shows, and REGISTERED attendees who are there to learn and network by attending the valuable workshops and panels. The IMC has often attracted the largest numbers of registered attendees of all national music conferences.

THE IMC:

Now in its sixth year, the IMC is a revolutionary new kind of Music Conference. Presented by IndieGate.com online independent music store, the IMC focuses on empowering musicians to achieve indie success. This event is NOT about "how to get signed" or "discovered." If you are smart enough to know that the chances are slim to none that someone in a stretch limo will pull up to your curb and hand you superstardom on a silver platter, then this is the conference you want to attend. It is an educational and internetworking event coordinated by InterMixx, the membership based organization that has been helping indies for almost 20 years. However, the IMC is ultimately planned and built by you - the independent musician who wants to succeed on your own terms. Your opinions and ideas are needed. To find out how to get involved and to check out the very latest on the IMC, join our IMC Group at MySpace.com and get in on the planning and discussion!

IMC GETS HIGH MARKS!

Here are just a few examples of what the artists and instructors had to say about the IMC...

"Hello, Noel, and the rest of IMC. My name is Jason Rubal. I am a producer in the Harrisburg, PA area. I own Seventh Wave Studio. I've worked with bands that have been on the Lollapalooza Tour, Vans Warped Tour, Nine Inch Nails world tour, and Halo Star tour. I worked with The Dresden Dolls on world tour with Nine Inch Nails, I work out of the the private studio owned by the band LIVE, and have worked for several labels including Nothing Records, owned by Trent Reznor. First, let me say, I am impressed. Very impressed. The world could certainly benefit from a few more of you! The integrity, the sincerity, it is what the industry needs. I have heard Noel speak, and I have been on your website. Finally, someone who "gets it" is in control of something. Bravo. Noel, I am honored that you have allowed me to be a part of such an event filled with integrity and genuine interest in helping musicians. Of all the events such as these, yours is the most organized and sincere. Year after year, please consider myself a part of the IMC."
Jason Rubal, Seventh Wave Studio

"I learned alot more at this year's IMC than I did at any of the various conferences I have attended over the last 5 years. I also got to see some of the most talented and refreshingly original musicians and artists I've seen in one conglomeration."
Tah Phrum Duh Bush!

"I highly recommend this conference for any artist who really wants to be on the cutting edge."
Jean-Marc Rejaud of Focus Marketing

"We didn't experience the usual "us" and "them" feeling between artists and industry folk."
Millie Landrum of Waterplanet

"I just have to tell everyone that IMC2003 was the one of the best times I have EVER had with my band! The panels were unbelievable and the bands were slammin'!!!"
Madame Venus of Swampbytche
