A Week Of Worthy Music Industry Conventions

The music industry convention circuit overflows this week, and if you're anywhere nearby each one of them appears worth your time.

• The week kicks off in Chicago this Tuesday Oct. 6th as the New Music Seminar comes to town. I participated in the NYC gathering this summer and this one promises to be even stronger.
• Digital Music Forum West has added speakers to its ambitious agenda in LA Oct. 6-7.
• Hypebot's own Kyle Bylin deliver's a keynote Q &A at Next Big Nashville Oct 7-10 in the Music City.
• The New Noise Santa Barbara Conference & Festival has gathered an impressive group of speakers that should help put that city on the musical map long after its Oct. 8-10 dates.
