About the Workshop 
While the strategy of releasing music in a physical form is still the norm, record labels have seen a steady increase in different types of digital distribution and marketing for many years now. More and more, consumers get music from the comforts of their desired digital devices, while labels and artists struggle with decreased financial returns of streaming and download services, and an explosion of marketing options. A panel of industry professionals will discuss the challenges and opportunities in releasing music in the post-album age.
