Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our intended outcome for the 2017 Minnesota Music Summit is to bring together 800-1000 artists, fans and members of the music industry together in St Paul for 3 days of workshops, networking and performances. As a result, we hope that 65% of participants will have gained new knowledge, discovered new artists and made more contacts in the music and arts community. We will track attendance of workshops, networking events and performances and measure activity through comments on our website and social media pages. After the conference, we will provide written surveys to participating artists after the Summit is over and will host a meeting with the Minnesota Music Coalition staff and Board of Directors as well as partnering organizations to assess our successes and shortcomings and improve future programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Although we had lots of competition of music events happening the weekend of the Summit (like Prince celebration and Record Store Day), we had a very good turnout at our events with over 100 people at our kickoff party, 200 at Dalmar Yare's keynote, 450 total at our workshops and other talks, 400 at our Friday night concert and 200 at Saturday night. Over 90% of survey responses were positive.
