Also you will want to get a copy of the Conference Daily News. These are available from displays throughout the conference facilities and contain any changes and updates that may have occurred since the printing of the program book. For example if a session is moved or cancelled it will be listed. There may be changes from the schedule as it was published in American Music Teacher or online so always refer first to your program book then the Daily News.

Each day MTNA publishes the Conference Daily News to announce any schedule changes or to provide any late breaking information you may need. The Daily News is available each morning at various locations throughout the conference facilities. Please check for these displays.
