A full session-by-session guide to the CMU Insights-programmed Great Escape Convention is now online, as this year’s conversations programme also goes live.

And in conversation this year will be industry legend Seymour Stein discussing his talent scouting exploits in emerging markets, plus PRS For Music presents Chloe Howl In Conversation, discussing an exciting year that saw her win plaudits aplenty, rack up over a million Vevo views and secure a Sony Music record deal.

One year on from the launch of the Momentum Music Fund at The Great Escape 2013, Arts Council England CEO Alan Davey will lead a conversation reviewing the innovative funding initiative’s first twelve months. Plus we will mark 50 years of pirate radio in the UK by bringing together the people behind some of the seminal stations.

And then on Friday afternoon The Great Escape’s official charity War Child will lead a discussion on what makes partnerships between charities and the music community really work, with War Child’s own Ben Knowles plus Muse manager Alex Wall, Cake CEO Mike Mathieson and Xfm Managing Editor Chris Baughen, with The Guardian’s Johnny Dee asking the questions.

And those are just the highlights. The conversations programme sits alongside CMU’s six half-day insight strands, all previously reported, but all now with full timetables available to check out. Click the links: Building A Fan Business, Maximising Music Rights, The Festival Business, New Product Strategies, Global Digital Markets and Blurred Lines.

You can also now check out the full festival schedule on the TGE website here, and the section-by-section convention schedule here. Delegate passes, getting you into all core festival and convention shows and sessions, are still available at the save rate of £175, but only until tomorrow, so get yours now! And look out for more Great Escape updates and the downloadable PDF convention programme in the CMU Daily next week.
