ASCAP President and Chairman Marilyn Bergman announced the ASCAP "I Create Music" EXPO -- the first and only national conference dedicated to songwriting and composing that is designed to bring together music creators with music industry professionals who want to work together to achieve greater success. The EXPO will take place April 20-22, 2006 at The Hollywood Renaissance Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

All songwriters, composers, producers, publishers and music industry professionals, regardless of affiliation, will benefit from this unique creative event, which will be presented in a stimulating format designed to facilitate personal interaction, education and networking. Programs will include, panels, workshops, master classes, keynotes, mentoring, song critiquing, product displays, state-of-the-art technology demonstrations, performances, and more. Detailed information, including early bird pricing and registration, can be found at www.ascap.com/expo.

"This is a must attend event for all serious music creators working to achieve greater success," said Marilyn Bergman. "In keeping with the long tradition of ASCAP's top songwriters and composers helping to nurture those starting out in the business, attendees will have the opportunity to hear music legends talk about their craft and the chance to interact with them in a variety of settings. They'll walk away with the knowledge, tools and contacts to maximize their success and inspire their work."

"ASCAP is the only U.S. performing rights organization owned and governed by its music creator members, and the most trusted organization among songwriters and composers," said Jimmy Jam. "I'm thrilled to be a part of the first conference focused exclusively on songwriting and composing."
