LANCASTER, PA – Blending the modern with the traditional is always a challenge, particularly when it comes to architectural landmarks. Such was the case with the Lancaster County Convention Center, a $170 million facility designed to fit within the classic 19th century Pennsylvania Dutch façade of the city's landmark Watt and Shand department store.
The Convention Center is
designed for versatility, with a 46,000 square foot exhibit hall, 9,000 square
foot ballroom and numerous other meeting areas. This same versatility also
presented the biggest challenges in creating an audio system suitable for the
space, explains Daniel Rohrer of Sage Technology Solutions in Mt. Joy, Penn.

If you’re a Billboard reader, you may have already seen this Op-Ed by FMC’s Alex Maiolo about how the passage of health care reform legislation may impact musicians.

Alex is the program officer for FMC’s Health Insurance Navigation Tool (HINT), which provides free information to musicians curious about their health insurance options. HINT doesn’t sell insurance, but it does help demystify a complex topic. Artists can sign up via the HINT website to receive a free phone consultation where they can go over their situation on a case-by-case, state-by state basis with one of our experts (who also happen to be musicians).
