THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC 2:
Creation, MusicTech & Policy

Mondo Day Two: We start the day with breakfast courtesy of our friends at The MLC and then cover the business of music on multiple tracks: Covington returns for its annual panel suite, music innovator Scott Cohen and A2IM CEO Ian Harrison posit how creators and rights-holders can have a greater stake in the financial value their music creates, and it's already time for lunch presented by Virgin Music Group. The afternoon brings an exploration of the "Future of Music Creation & Technology," and the RIAA returns for its 11th Mondo kicking off with "Everything You Need to Know About Music Policy in an Hour," followed by a one-one-one conversation between Recording Academy President Panos A. Panay and RIAA CEO Mitch Glazier, and then its legendary Cocktail Party. And of course, don't miss night two of MondoLive.
