ABOUT THIS PANEL
Meet some of the music industry’s brightest next-generation leaders — executives already running departments, building companies and helping shape what comes next. They’re navigating change in real time, embracing shifts others are still debating and bringing a distinctly different perspective to the business.
What are they seeing from their peers, teams and the marketplace? What’s working, what isn’t, and which emerging ideas have staying power — or are simply hype? Looking ten years ahead, they’ll tackle the bigger question: what will the music business actually look like in 2036?
Come for the predictions — and leave with a clearer sense of what it may take to future-proof a career, a company and an industry.
