      Boston AES Music Expo 2025 – Dereck presents
      What does April-June look like for us?
      We need to hit the ground running on the AES expo- looking for sponsors and a venue host – Boston Pavillion? Another thought is to apply for a grant to fund this event. Mass Cultural Council/ City of Boston endowment for the arts.

      Should we ask Powersoft to re-up for 2025? Other potential sponsors on deck?
      General consensus is that we should ask them for their support again, but also seek new relationships. Malik mentions interfacing with Dave Malekopur of Pro Audio Design.
