CD Baby Releases Full Schedule for DIY Musician Conference

CD Baby is hosting our first ever DIY Musician Conference this October 23-25 in Chicago, and we�ve got quite the assortment of workshops, panels, and showcases lined up.Unlike most music conferences, this one is built specifically around the needs of independent musicians, so you�ll get practical, actionable advice and walk away with a plan to move your music career forward. Most of the guest speakers will be hanging out for the weekend too, so if you want to continue a conversation that started in one of your sessions, you�ll have that opportunity. Plus, we�ll have a resource center set up where you can talk to members of the CD Baby team at any time, ask questions about your distribution and promotion, or just say hi.Friday � October 23rd2:00pm-5:00pmRegistration at the Congress Plaza Hotel6:00pm-11:00pmMeet-up and open mic at The Bottom LoungeSaturday � October 24th8:00am-9:00amRegistration at the Congress Plaza Hotel9:15am-10:15amFrom Indie to Major in Nine Months� And Back Again (Keynote) � w/ Brian Mazzaferri and Tony Van Veen10:30am-11:30amShow Me the Money: How to Maximize Every Revenue Stream for Your Music � w/ Kevin Breuner, Rob Filomena, J.
