They've done education conventions in previous years for symphonic bands and but this year they are doing one for the Chinese Orchestra.If the band convention is a yardstick to go by, there'll be talks by keynote speakers, workshops, and a mini exhibition all relating Chinese Orchestra music.
For more information, please refer to the official letter below by one of the officers in charged:

We'll be having an exhibition booth there as well. I've submitted a proposal to have bikini clad girls playing the erhu, pipa and guzheng at my booth but that was rejected by the organizers. I think they're afraid people might stay at the exhibition area all day.
In any case, please give them your support.
very funny
