The Billboard Music and Money Symposium is happening Mar. 3rd at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. The one day program looks interesting and the Brands & Bands: New Funding Sources for Artist Development session includes Chris Lighty of Violator Records and Steve Stoute of Translation Consultation & Brand Imaging.
