ASCAP I Create Music EXPO Set For May 7-9

September 21, 2017/by Lorie Hollabaugh

ASCAP has set the date for its 13th annual “I Create Music” EXPO for May 7 – 9, 2018 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles.

The largest conference for songwriters, composers, artists and producers in the country, the “I Create Music” EXPO offers a rare opportunity for aspiring music creators to learn from and collaborate with some of the most successful and creative people in the music industry.

” When we started the ASCAP EXPO, the vision was always to create a sense of community and offer songwriters a chance to network and hear from their peers and idols. One of our EXPO high point s was the presentation last year of the inaugural ASCAP “Key of Life” Award to Stevie Wonder and the chance to hear him perform and talk about his life and music,” said ASCAP Executive Vice President/ Chief Marketing Officer Lauren Iossa. “That was an incredible moment, and every year EXPO attendees have one-of-a-kind opportunities like this to be inspired to take the next step in their careers.”

Last year’s three-day event included performances from Michael McDonald, Ashley Gorley, J.T. Harding, Matt Jenkins, Dave Bassett and more. Among the previous EXPO keynote speakers are Justin Timberlake, Tom Petty, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Quincy Jones, Ludacris, Carly Simon, Sara Bareilles, Lindsey Buckingham, Randy Newman, Jackson Browne, Steve Miller, Ne-Yo, Bill Withers, Aloe Blacc, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora Jeff Lynne. 

Every year, ASCAP “I Create Music” EXPO participants attend creative and business-focused panels, workshops, master classes, keynotes, one-on-one sessions, networking events, state-of-the-art technology demonstrations and performances. The ASCAP EXPO provides music creators with knowledge, tools, connections and a unique community of support and guidance. Registration information for the event will be announced at a later date.
