Music journalism, drugs, Brexit and royalties are among the key topics to be explored at this year’s Great Escape conference 2017.
Taking place 18-20 May in Brighton, the event is one of the biggest in the calendar for the UK music industry and beyond.
Aimed at industry professionals and those aspiring to further develop their careers in the music business, the convention will feature a range of experts debating the key points on each topic.
The media conference will explore the supposed crisis in music journalism while the drugs conference will debate the damage a sex, drugs and rock n roll lifestyle on their career and health.
Other themes will analyse the how artists can export their music in the current climate of Brexit as well as looking at income streams and licensing.
Kevin Moore, TGE general manager, said: ‘The convention programme at TGE has repeatedly led the way in recent years by putting the most current music industry talking points under the spotlight, often for the first time, whether that be the power of playlists and the YouTuber, the evolving label/manager relationship, the industry’s myriad data challenges, or the need to address mental health in the music community. This year’s topics look set to continue that trend.’
‘Plus, since we launched the ‘four-conferences-in-one’ format with the team at CMU Insights, our conference programme has really stood out by delving much deeper than your average music industry event, so to better enlighten, education and inspire our delegates.’
Each conference will comprise a series of talks, discussions and debates from music industry specialists including artists, promoters, managers, label execs and journalists.
Artists and bands looking to play at this year’s TGE can still submit their music and apply.
