About

Music publishing has become one of the most important and interesting revenue streams for performing songwriters in the new music economy. Publishing also provides marketing opportunities for artists and record labels.

This panel of experienced music publishers will discuss everything artists, managers, and labels need to know about music publishing including how to shop your own work, how and when to enter into a publishing deal, and what different avenues exist to exploit your songs.
