The two-day conference kicked off by introducing attendees to the local music scene, giving the city the chance to showcase itself on a larger stage.
“It’s given us an opportunity to show the rest of the state and really key players in the industry that Corpus Christi has, you know, something to share, something to show, there’s a place for us in the playing field, and we’re really excited about that,” said Paulina Manseau, marketing manager for the Corpus Christi Film & Music Commission.
On the final day, the conference will turn its focus to the business side of the music world, with panels exploring the ins and outs of Texas’ music industry.
