CMU @ TGE 2017

The Great Escape kicks off in Brighton tomorrow morning, with three days of great music taking place in venues all around the seaside city, and 3500 music industry professionals from across the world amongst the audience, looking for new acts to work with and support in markets across the globe.

During the day, those industry delegates also have access to the TGE Convention programme, at the heart of which sits the CMU Insights @ The Great Escape conferences. Four conferences in one, over the next two days CMU Insights will present The Media Conference, The Drugs Conference, The Export Conference and The Royalties Conference, all taking place in the Dukes @ Komedia cinema.

Over the last two weeks we’ve been identifying the top ten questions we will answer during the four conferences, and you can read up on all of those here…

01: Where does all the streaming money go?
02: How do you make money out of music media in 2017?
03: What impact will Brexit have on music?
04: How do you get paid when your music is synced?
05: How do you get your music onto a journalist’s radar?
06: What are the pros and cons of direct licensing in live?
07: How do you successfully launch new acts in new markets?
08: Will it be streams that kill the radio star?
09: What drugs policies and initiatives can actually save lives?
10: Can drugs really fuel the creative process?

For a speedy guide to the programme and speakers, check this post on the CMU Insights blog here.

Those looking to dig deeper should follow this CMU Insights blog post, where a range of resources will be appearing over the next three days. Later today a number of articles and a pre-event ‘Where We’re At’ podcast will appear for delegates to read and listen to as they travel to the conference. Plus you’ll be able to download the various presentations CMU Insights will deliver this year as they take place in Brighton.

More detailed summaries of those insight presentations will also be available to premium CMU subscribers via CMU Trends later this month, while the CMU team will also be reporting on all the discussions that take place this year in the CMU Daily over the coming weeks.

If you are heading to Brighton – see you there!
