Mondo Day Two: We cover the business of music on multiple tracks: Covington returns for its annual panel suite, focusing this year on "Beyond the Album," covering touring, brands and much more. Citrin Cooperman explores successful executive career trajectories; we tackle the "Future of Music Creation & Technology;" and the RIAA returns for its 10th Mondo hosting a full afternoon of important panel sessions, kicking off with "Everything You Need to Know About Music Policy in an Hour" immediately followed by its legendary Cocktail Party co-hosted by Vermillio. And of course, don't miss night two of MondoLive.
