Module background:


Significant change continues to be a reliable constant in the world of music publishing! What once was talk of “new business models” is now joined by discussion of “new music eco-systems”; from Cloud models to Apps, on-line and mobile services, platforms and devices continue to present a range of challenges and opportunities to music publishers; the future of collective management is again under the spotlight, as are the practical and legal issues related to music publisher specialisation or diversification; the progress towards the Global Repertoire Database; copyright term extension – the list goes on!

So what should we be considering and acting upon in 2012? To help us analyse where we are now and what lies ahead, we are extremely pleased to be able to confirm our first speakers for the first “stand alone” session in this year’s Music Publishing Professional Development Programme, to be held on the evening of February 13th this month in the PRS for Music Boardroom.

In order to develop your own & your clients’ business ventures and careers, it’s more important than ever to remain one step ahead of your professional game with up to date knowledge & understanding of the “who/what/when/where/how&why” of today’s music publishing industry.
