Jerry has spoken at several industry events and universities.

Letter to Richard Dieguez re: Jerry's appearance at The Circle October 23, 2007

Just wanted to say "great show." I thought the two programs --yours and
Jerry's-- were good complements to each other, both in tone and subject.

I very much appreciated that Jerry gave personal historical and
emotional depth to his program. This very much underscored your
repeated promotion of real face to face. I think this was as valuable
to the "baptised" as to the "unbaptised."

Thanks -- John Scuderi, Phone Jockey Records, http://www.phonejockeyrecords.com/

Really enjoyed listening to you last night. The talk opened my eyes to many ways of advancing my musical carreer, ways that I hadn't thought of before. Thanks, Sor  www.rediclan.com

Comments on Music Business: From Foundation to Franchise presented by Jerry Lembo at the IMC '06 Conference in Philadelphia:

 "I was able to build with my peers and see they had the same issues building a label, but also had great solutions." --Day

 "Workshop was very informative and valuable. Recommend this workshop for every person thinking of getting into the music industry." --Nelson Scott

"It's really great to have a discussion format that addresses your actual needs as opposed to having someone dictate to you!" --Genevieve

"Thank you so very much for being a panelist at the WHAT MAKES A STAR? music business summer institute for high school students at New York University...Your explanation of business issues and how radio promotion and artist management operate gave the group something they could not have gotten anywhere else.  The quotes you brought in were very thoughtful and gave us all a lot to consider. (And Squeeze was one of the acts when I worked for A&M.)  I've never set up a panel before that included a performing artist (JLEG client Byron Zanos), ready and willing to participate in the panel as a...performer!  It was a perfect way to keep us focused on what really matters:  the artist and the music.  The overall goal of WHAT MAKES A STAR? is to show what goes into the making of music, the discovery of music, the deal-making, and the changing (and some not-so-changing!) business systems.  Your contribution was of great help in achieving that goal." --Catherine Moore, PhD, Director, Music Business Graduate Program, Director, WHAT MAKES A STAR?

"The William Paterson University Music Management program offers a general introduction to the industry, focusing on the multifaceted recording industry and offering music management course work in: music publishing, recording, production, public relations, law and ethics, and personal management. An honors internship is available for the most academically accomplished student. Recent guest lecturers have included: Harvey Leeds, Steve Leeds, Adam Kornfeld, Dave Lory, Walt O'Brien, Derek Graham, Dave McPherson, Rob Fusari, Scot McCraken, Walter Yetnikoff, Aaron Van Duyne, Rob Kos, Wayne Goldberg, Daryl "DMC" McDaniels, Jerry Lembo, E. Michael Harrington, Bruce Carbone, Jake Slichter, George Gilbert, Ken Schlager, and Dave Wolter." -- Dr. Stephen Marcone, Professor of Music, WPU

"Your seminar was the best seminar I've been to in years. Real information...no fluff... I hope we meet again!" -- A.K. Smith Ford, Prohibition Entertainment

"I enjoyed your workshop and benefited immensely from your insight and suggestions.  I will definitely stay in touch." --Lisette Lavergne, Esq.

"Very impressive job today. I’m glad I came by. I’ll call you about guest speaking at the NYU postgraduate class I teach in the fall. Lyor, Edgar, Donny have all dropped by to speak. You’ll be on your way to an honorary degree!" --George Stein

"Thanks much for the seminar yesterday. It was worth waking early on a Saturday and going back to school. I remember the Paradise Garage, Studio 54 and have worked with most of the dance industry people you mentioned, as I represented Kraze (The Party) for some years, among many other new wave, world music, jazz, rock....artists, including a few superstars.  My jobs are both very interesting challenges and I have carte blanche... to create new programs and better partnerships that get more and better European produced music heard, enjoyed and sold in North America. You might know my partner in the co-management, Jean-Pierre Weiller, as he’s representing Adam Cohen and Low Millions in France for Bill Leopold. It was nice to learn about you and hear your spin on life and radio." --Robert Singerman, www.noJazz.net, www.musicineurope.org

"I just wanted to say that it was really nice meeting you at GEMS, and it was an honor serving on the same panel. You did such a great job moderating, by far the best panel I’ve been on and one of the best I’ve ever seen as far as moderating goes. I highly recommended that Steve use you as a moderator for future GEMS panels.  Hope to cross paths again sometime." --

"Jerry is a true professional and an extraordinary gentleman in the music business. I heard much about him over the years and for one reason or another we never had the opportunity to meet. However, I jumped at the chance to hear him speak at Richard Dieguez's Music Industry Circle in NYC recently. Shortly thereafter, I set up a consultancy to share my latest projects with him, in order to get 'a high level' perspective. Within the first 20 minutes of my consultation, he was able to pinpoint and elaborate on a dozen fantastic cross marketing ideas..."
-- Michael Castaldo, (fiercely independent--- musician/songwriter/producer, among other things:  Villetta Mimma Vittoria, New York City Olive Oil Co-op)

"I wanted to send a note of thanks to you for all of the insight that I gained from you while at the Global Entertainment and Media Summit...I learned a great deal about the industry through the information sessions and interacting with other artists and panelists like you...Thank you for being so informative and approachable."

--Tracy Sapinski, GEMS volunteer panelist coordinator

"Being an Independent Entrepreneur is not for the faint-hearted. If you want to be free from the control of others; self-contained, self-reliant, self-sufficient...an architect, creator, originator...register for the Global Entertainment Network Conference. It's like an oxygen tank for innovators. What's important to remember... rewards don't always reflect in the bottom line but in the richness it brings to one's mind (and soul)."

--Jerry Lembo, CEO (Creative Entertainment Officer) Jerry Lembo Entertainment Group on G.E.M.S.

 "Jerry...you really energized the class this evening.  Thanks!"

--Hank Bordowitz, Adjunct Professor, Marketing & Management in the Music Business, Ramapo College 10/5/04
