The future of the entertainment industry will be the topic of the next Who Knew networking event to be held May 18 at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville.

The panel will feature the following speakers: Jeff Cuellar, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, AC Entertainment; Jim Donio, president of the Music Business Association; Ali Harnell, Senior Vice President of AEG Live and co-manager of The Shadowboxers; Jeremy Holley, co-founder and partner of FlyteVu; David M.

The event will ask the panelists to share their predictions about what’s on the horizon for their sector of the industry.

The event is presented by executive search firm MusicRowSearch and the College of Media and Entertainment at Middle Tennessee State University.

The function also serves as the official after-party of Music Biz 2016, the Music Business Association’s annual conference that moved to Nashville in 2015.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the panel will begin at 7 p.m. The Who Knew after-party will kick-off at 8:30 pm with rock band Them Vibes followed by a set from Americana band The Mulligan Brothers.

“I’m really looking forward to the next Who Knew, when a group of dynamic, top-tier executives will share predictions on what’s next for the entertainment industry,” said Tom Truitt, Who Knew creator and CEO of MusicRowSearch. “I am also excited to introduce Music Biz 2016 attendees to the Who Knew experience.”
