Sponsored by Middle Tennessee State University. 

A "speed dating" InfoFest! Students, take this opportunity to sit and talk with members of the music industry and ask the questions you've been wanting to know. Up to a dozen music executives from various parts of the music industry will be present. Pull up a chair and spend time in a table setting learning from professionals who are doing what you're interested in pursuing after college. Then, hang around longer for some snacks, and chat more during the casual networking group time.
