How might proposed changes to federal copyright law impact musicians and songwriters? How can artists make sense of new digital platforms for generating revenue from their music? How are musicians advancing social change? These are among the many questions to be addressed during the 2013 Future of Music Summit at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., Monday-Tuesday, Oct. 28-29.
Intended for musicians, songwriters, composers, artist advocates, managers, label and other music industry people, entertainment lawyers, policymakers and social media mavens, the Summit will explore a range of issues at the intersection of music, technology, policy and law. The Future of Music Coalition was established in 2000, in part to provide a forum for discussion of these issues. The national nonprofit education, research and advocacy organization has hosted annual policy summits, policy days and other programs in the nation’s capital and elsewhere around the U.S.
Among the panelists at the summit in Washington will be singer-songwriters and independent recording artists Nicole Atkins, Erin McKeown and Jill Sobule. In addition to panel discussions, keynotes and breakout sessions, there will be opportunities for networking as Mailchimp hosts a cocktail party on Friday night and NPR Music’s All Songs Considered hosts a listening party on Saturday night. A welcome dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant and DC area music showcase in nearby Arlington, VA precedes the summit.
