A&R executives talk personal creative philosophy and how they balance with the philosophies of the companies for whom they work. Panelists will discuss their views and practices in artist development, the necessary “fearless factor” of doing A&R, and A&R from discovery to signing.

Using the “social-verse” to connect and grow your audience. Social networking and mobile devices are bringing the world closer together and creating real time opportunities for bands, promoters, venues and labels to connect with fans, promote records and sell show tickets. Social media experts offer practical advice, the best practices and industry insight on how mobile social networking is changing the music industry. Preceded by a talk from Steve Jang, co-founder and CEO of Schematic Labs, makers of the rapidly growing SoundTracking app and community. Prior to building SoundTracking, he was a co-creator and CMO of imeem. He is also an angel investor and/or advisor to Animoto, StackMob, StumbleUpon and Uber.

Agents, venues, managers and other experts discuss how touring on $40 a day (or less) can (or can’t) happen for most emerging artists.

Collaboration with your teams and partners is paramount. The quality of the songs, and the people helping to place them, are what prevail in today’s publishing and licensing landscape.

Panelists will discuss music business-related career opportunities, paths and development.

As the music industry landscape changes, the college market's significance in breaking bands and brands is becoming increasingly vital. In the past few years, we've seen artists with no albums and no recording contract (but with solid local fan followings) explode through the utilization of online resources and nationwide campus tours. Capitalizing on that same success via similar marketing principles, brands are now beginning to target the college music scene more and more.

Making an impact on the greater good, helping you help others while you're working.
