New Technology and the Music Industry
From the days of the first phonograph to the
advent of the mp3 file, technology has played a role in changing how artists
create, market and distribute music. This panel will look at how some of the
latest technology is changing the way we conceive music and asks whether
artists, who can now reach their fans directly through the advent of social
media sites, have any need for major labels at all.

Royalties and Copyrights
This
panel will discuss how an artist can protect their music after the creative
process is finished. The keeping care of the music after itÕs already made is
just as important as the actual making of the music.

Are We There Yet? Reaching the Goal
Live touring and the music
festivals are back for young artists and are now an integral part of a career,
again. This panel will ask how young bands (Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, the
Black Keys), who now have the potential to tour for years to come, change the
way we think about festival appearances and sustaining a touring career. This
panel will also look specifically at how music festivals, whether it be Woodstock, Coachella or CHAMPSFEST, have captured the
imagination of artists and fans from generation to generation.
