Digital Music Summit postponed

Leadership Music's annual DigitalSummit, we just noticed, has just been postponed from Monday-Tuesday, March 22-23, to sometime in September 2010. The move may be a result of the recent resignation of longtime LM Executive Director Kira Florita, who continues to consult to LM. Florita resigned in January, after five years' service.
