Hi Bob,

Here's a possibility:

Loyd Artists leads a discussion/workshop entitled "Both Sides Now" 
dealing with what makes it work or not in the relationship between 
presenters and artists/agents; how does each "side" view the same 
issue or problem; how do we work together to insure long term success 
for both.  Usually led by Bunny Halton - Subkis who has history as a 
performing artist, 18 years as a presenter with UNCA and now agent 
with Loyd Artists and/or John Loyd with forty years experience as 
event producer, manager and agent.  One or both might kick off a 
discussion around these issues.

Thanks.

Peggy
