Ken Taylor, Director of Business Development, previews the next INTA Leadership Meeting in Austin Texas.
Deep in the Heart
Any city that proudly displays a statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn and has an annual festival dedicated to hot sauce has got it going on. For the first time this capital of Texas, also known as the Live Music Capital of the World (registered trademark) hosts the INTA Leadership Meeting, November 19-22. Co-Chairs Maria Laura Perna of Cervieri Monsuarez & Associates in Uruguay, and Austin’s own William D. Raman of Fleckman & McGlynn, PLLC, have assembled a stellar program of meetings, workshops and special events that is sure to enlighten and impress. Is it any coincidence that a session on “Cannabis & Intellectual Property’ will be held in close proximity to some of the best BBQ in existence, a slew of craft beer destinations and over 250 music venues? Come to Austin and find out!
