The Connective Series - Starting LA Events in 2009

[Jennie Walker]

The Connective Series (http://www.theconnectiveseries.com), which
launched in March 2008 in New York City, combines music &
entertainment, education, networking and charity. The Connective
Series offers networking opportunities for people in the creative
arts through an educational panel series that also raises funds and
awareness for music related charities.

The Connective Series, which donates up to 50% of profits to music
related charities from its emerging Artists Series, has reached over
350 aspiring artists since its inception. The Series will launch
programs in the Los Angeles area and San Francisco area in 2009.

The Emerging Artists Series focuses on issues of importance to people
in the creative arts who are in the breakthrough phase of their
careers, and in need of sound music business information and
networking opportunities with decision makers in the entertainment
industry. Artists gain valuable insights into the entertainment
business through the panel series as well as make valuable
connections. In addition, each event raises funds and awareness for
music related charities. To date, donations has been made to WHY's
(World Hunger Year) Artists Against Hunger & Poverty Program, Opus 118
Harlem School of Music, and the Georgia Music Industry Association.
