We are 60 days away from the New Music Seminar with many new initiatives in place.

 

Third Day Added:

On Sunday afternoon, as a prelude to the main schedule, we will introduce NMS 101 Day. Sunday will include an overview to help you navigate the conference and get the state-of-the-art advice. Sessions on networking, what you need to know about the artist as a business, and an overview of the major kinds of music deals and contracts along with more schmoozing opportunities will make Sunday an important addition to the NMS package.

We are also planning to have meetups throughout the conference with Women in Music and the International Music Managers Forum.

Midem and NMS Collaboration:

Midem and NMS have begun their commitment to building the International Music Business Community. Midem will host the International Movement and then NMS will have an open-forum breakout discussion right after – stay tuned for more information coming soon.

With all these new and exciting initiatives, we want to make sure to create the best possible business networking experience. As a result, we have decided to limit registrations.

From Tom Silverman himself…

“After a tumultuous yet enjoyable SXSW, we have decided to cap New Music Seminar registrations at 1500 this year. Keeping the focus on high level discourse and high quality meeting opportunities, we believe we can serve our audience of industry leaders and change makers best by limited the number of registrants.

We will also limit the number of venues this year to allow curation of the highest quality of new and developing talent to be experienced by the majority of our delegates.

The New Music Seminar is concerned with the quality and sustainability of the music business and cross-pollination of music, technology and business. Limiting the quantity and maximizing the quality of participants will help us best meet this goal.

We sincerely hope that this decision will not inconvenience or disappoint too many people.”

We will announce the full schedule and players in the next couple weeks, and here is a sample of what you can expect from all sectors of the music business.
