What are the hot topics for Palma 2024; we are ready to explore whatever it is that matters to you

 

Creative Entrepreneurship
Creative Entrepreneurship: Can creativity be managed/subject to general business principles?  Should artists be more businesslike? What do creators need from publishers in terms of their business acumen? What can publishers learn from other creative industries and from the songwriting community about how best to create entrepreneurship in their artists? What do international bodies bring to the table?

Sex Education Case Study and the Creative & Business Process of Music for Film/TV/Gaming/Ads
Join us for an in-depth discussion on the creative and business process of music for audio/visual. Gain valuable insights into the role of the Music Supervisor, Studio Music Executive and Licensing/Clearance Specialist in today’s music industry. Walk away with effective tips in licensing, sourcing music, creating effective playlists, marketing strategies, and an insider’s view to the ever-evolving relationships between content creators, artists, music supervisors and licensing executives.  This is a highly competitive but lucrative market, a critical part of the business for indie publishers, so you don’t want to be left behind.  Learn the latest on how to be an effective partner.

The Benefits of Hiring More Diversely and How to do it
“There were no black candidates” “I can’t afford to employ people with health issues” and “I can’t cope with female mood swings” are no longer valid reasons to not employ diversely and there are huge advantages to having a diverse workforce.  This panel will discuss how to recruit and manage a workforce which is more representative of society, and why it’s essential to do so.

The Global Majority are taking over the Market
Since the beginning of the music industry, western music has been the biggest and highest earning repertoire by far.  So-called developing markets were seen only as a sales opportunity without regard to local repertoire.  However, the dominance of Western Music is coming to an end and the Global Majority is taking precedence on music services.

AI – the solution to our database issues or just another fly in the ointment?
Who’s got the best database?  Isn’t it about time we knew?  There are so many databases in the world.  If there was a clear winner, and it was adopted across the industry, just think how much money would be released into the ecosystem. How can we determine who maintains the best data and what’s the gold standard?  And is AI a solution or…….?

CMOs and RMEs; The Rise of the Right Management Entity
Who wants to own a Collection Society?  How important is it for publishers to be co-owners rather than customers of collection societies?  Is a better service offered by more commercial Rights Management Entities who have to compete for customers? We hear from CMOs, RMEs and publishers about the roadmap ahead.

Tech and Innovation
There’s a new kid in town.  All over organisations have been set up to provide a link between music tech and the music industry.  Isn’t it time tech and music were friends?  What can tech do for us, and at what point does AI become an opportunity and not a threat?

Mergers and Majors
What tech/services companies are the majors buying and how will that affect the landscape and the indie market.  It’s hard to keep on top of the booming mergers and acquisitions marketplace, but we will go on a whistlestop tour of the trends of the market, and what that might mean for the indies.
