BEAUMONT,
TX. (www.usindie.com) - The 2005 US Indie Band & Film Expo will
take place in Beaumont,
Texas from August 19-23, 2005 (setup and
load-in is on August 18). More than 500 bands, filmmakers, and artists
are expected to participate in what is expected to become the premier
showcase for unsigned acts of all genres. Nearly 18,000 people are
projected to attend the birth of one of the industry's most explosive
annual events. The five-day event will take place at the Fairpark
Coliseum and Fairground, and nearby facilities and venues. There will
be four outdoor music stages running continuously from 11:00 a.m.-11:00
p.m., and indoors, there will be a large screen to show projects in
film, video, and animation. Additionally, each participant will have a
booth promoting their goods or services, selling merchandise,
meet-and-greets, etc. The US Indie Expo will also feature workshops,
conferences, Q&A panel sessions, and seminars.
Because of so
many entertainment industry expos and conferences today overcharging
for participating in their events, many independent artists, bands, and
filmmakers simply cannot participate because of the high costs
involved. For this reason, many of tomorrow's talents are overlooked
even without having a fair chance in the industry's competitive nature
today. The creation of The US Indie Expo gives every deserving artist a
chance to network with other artists, bands, industry professionals,
and filmmakers from around the world. Together we can reshape the
industry and create new opportunities for the future.
Individuals
and companies from all parts of the globe are expected to participate
in The US Indie Expo. The event will bring together key industry
people, performers, and filmmakers, as well as a demographically
desired fan and consumer base. Among those in attendance will be
distributors, publishers, agents, managers, publicists, promoters, and
record labels. These service oriented companies will seek to sign new
acts.
Participation in The US Indie Expo is also ideal for
vendors of various types of goods and services, business trade groups
and associations, and tourism bureaus to acquire new clients and
customers.
