Stars To Shine At R&R 2002
	Music-industry legend Clive Davis to appear

The industry’s No. 1 summer attraction is set for June 13-15 at Merv Griffin’s world-famous Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. R&R Convention 2002 will offer an unparalleled venue for valuable information and entertainment.

J Records founder/Chairman Clive Davis will appear on Friday, June 14, at a session titled “Clive Davis in the Morning.” Davis, riding high on the very successful launch of J Records, will speak to attendees and provide musical surprises. Preceding Davis’ appearance will be a “State of the Radio Industry” discussion featuring Clear Channel’s Randy Michaels, Emmis’ Rick Cummings and other group heads.
On Thursday, June 13, R&R and Edison Media Research will present the results of an exclusive research study commissioned for Convention 2002. “The Ultimate Record Buyer Study II” will high-light major issues facing the recorded-music industry today, including downloads, file-sharing, artist loyalty and recognition and other hot-button topics.

The convention will also showcase Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, whose “Girls of Summer” single is coming in mid-May from the group’s forthcoming Columbia album of greatest hits and new studio tracks. Tyler and Perry will debut their new single, video and more studio tracks at the convention during an intimate Oprah-style session where you get to ask the questions.

In addition to these and other events, R&R will present its legendary opening cocktail party, poolside at the Beverly Hilton, on Thursday, June 13. Registration is open at www. rronline.com, where there is also information on alternate hotels in the vicinity of the Beverly Hilton.
