We are excited to share insights about the most cutting edge tools available to artists today.” Monroe adds, “Music discovery these days happens online and if you aren’t online you’re not being heard.”This event is part of Nashville-based FLO{thinkery}’s Unparalleled Thinking Series and includes additional partners The Entrepreneur Center, Launch Tennessee, YEP: Young Entertainment Professionals, the Music City Music Council and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, signaling broad state, city and local community support for empowering creative.
