With the royalty crisis facing the industry, this year's RAIN Las Vegas Summit '07(during NAB 2007 in Las Vegas) maybe the most important ever.

The all-day Summit is scheduled for Monday, April 16th, (with our traditional RAIN Reader Cocktail Party following), just steps from the Las Vegas Convention Center at the Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel. (pictured below)

Below, you'll find a list of confirmed panelists and speakers, as well as a tentative schedule for the day's events, including our traditional cocktail party following the Summit.

The cocktail party is open to all guests, regardless of attendance at the Summit. Dinner reservations will be available in the hotel restaurant at the end of the cocktail party.
