I was considering purchasing the M3 summit (www.m3summit.com) pass for the alternative conference experience and wanted get some input from attendees of last years debut. it's well known that the quality and credibility of wmc has been in decline for sometime so perhaps the m3 (miami music & multimedia) has a promising future... or is it just a scam?

the presale pass is $99 until the 15th and from what I read it's more than an 'expo' with speakers & forums plus free admission to some collab parties.
taken from the official site:
Offering an executive summit, poolside artist showcases, a private hotel for networking, a visual arts festival, and access to a full week of parties throughout South Beach, the M3 Summit was created to meet the needs of an industry faced with new technologies, new music, and rapidly changing demands of the business.
The M3 Summit involved extensive participation by leaders from the music industry and related fields ? including telecom, advertising, film, and fashion ? and was organized with the belief that the current state of affairs offers tremendous opportunities for innovation and growth to those willing to embrace the challenge.fuck sigs.Comment

Re: M3 Summit
for those interested, this is the second, more indepth reply i recieved

What is M3?
M3 is the only gathering in the United States to merge music, technology,
art, fashion, and multimedia as an integrated lifestyle. Part festival, part
trade show, and part industry confab, M3 brings together business leaders
with forward-thinking consumers to celebrate the future of entertainment.
Taking place in Miami Beach during a week that traditionally draws tens of
thousands of electronic music professionals and fans,M3's diverse mix of
live music, technology debuts, and high-level business exchanges are
recognized as the essential nexus of the week's action.
The M3 program includes:
- Buzz-worthy music, art, technology, and multimedia presented in
state-of-the-art environments
- High-profile forums for the introduction of new products, fashions, and
ideas to an international audience of industry professionals and music
lovers
- Comfortable relaxed settings for industry leaders to network, broker
deals, and discuss new technologies, new distribution platforms, and new
business models
- The beautiful surroundings and tropical weather of South Beach in March
Who attends M3?
Artists, producers, DJs, music company executives, advertising directors,
film and television music supervisors, fashion designers, video game
creators and serious fans will all descend on South Beach for a week of
seminars, showcases, networking, and parties. What they each have in common
is a desire to both work and play hard, and they share an insatiable
appetite for pop culture and the latest art, entertainment, fashion and
gear.
Where and when is M3?
M3 takes place from March 23-26, 2005 in Miami Beach, Florida.
The Doubletree Surfcomber Hotel (1717 Collins Ave. @ 17th Street) is the
main host of M3, and each evening's Sunset Sessions musical program are
presented there poolside. M3 registrants will have the opportunity to
reserve a discounted room there (based on availability). M3's day program of
speakers, discussions, networking parties, and technology displays are at
the Raleigh Hotel (1775 Collins Ave. @ 18th Street). Other M3 events are
scheduled for clubs and venues throughout South Beach and Miami.
Why M3?
M3 is designed to harness the energies of a broad array of artists,
managers, agents, record labels, distributors, marketing professionals,
night life promoters, club owners and fans; to promote both business and the
culture of electronic music; to provide devoted music-heads and industry
professionals a diverse, cutting-edge musical lineup; to educate industry
leaders and veterans about the best ways to adapt to the rapidly changing
industry and new technologies; and to welcome leaders from related
industries and help them actively participate in electronic music culture.fuck sigs.Comment
