This two-part panel series offers valuable information to writers interested in connecting with music publishers, who continue to shape the future of the music business in the digital era. This panel features executives from four of the major multinational publishers. They will reveal who they are signing, how songwriters can best prepare to gain their attention, where the revenues are and how publishing has changed today vs. years ago. The second panel, Side 2, "The Independents,” will be presented on Friday, April 29th at 11:45am in Hollywood Ballroom #2. By attending both panels you will learn how they differ, how they each make creative decisions and how emerging songwriters can get a seat at the table.
