The Washington Post calls the event: "a confab of powerful communicators and content providers in the region."

Songwriters Hall of Fame Best of the New Writers Award winning artist Scooter Scudieri operates as the first full service musician of the 21st century, producing, composing, performing, and distributing all his music and video without the help of an agent, manager, or record company. Consequently, Scudieri has built the largest independent rock star following over the Internet. His lecture series Capture Your Spirit, Keep Your Soul focuses on the future of music- specifically the application of P2P technology and its emerging commercial uses.

The new music industry contains two elements: the musician and the fan, says Scudieri. On the one hand you have value creation. On the other you have value reciprocity. Somewhere in the middle is transactional mediation. I believe the new face of the P2P model will benefit artists such as myself and give music lovers a legal way to trade files.

Scooters debut video Mother of God has become a hot item on the P2P networks, making its way into the Top 20 on Bearshare.com.
