Cutting Edge C.E. (formerly the Cutting Edge Music Business Conference) began in 1993 as a conference dedicated to educating musicians and music professionals about the latest trends in the music industry. Since its inception, it has evolved into entertainment workshops covering legal issues, filmmaking, interactive applications, and media business education. Cutting Edge C.E. brings together established and aspiring entertainment professionals; it is as much about getting people into the entertainment business together as it is about the business of entertainment.
