Music Biz Seeks Panel, Presentation, Speakers For May 14-17 Conference At Omni Nashville Hotel

The Music Business Association has opened its Call for Presentations for its 2018 Music Biz conference, to be held May 14-17 at the Omni Nashville Hotel.

All submitted topics should present a balanced perspective, with representatives from the commerce, content, and creative communities being given the chance to weigh in on the discussion. Suggested topics of interest can be seen below. Submissions will be considered based on overall quality, focus, and innovation; relevance to the issues facing the music and entertainment industry; sound research and theoretical basis (if applicable); practical implications to the Music Biz audience; and the experience and reputation of proposed speakers.

Those wishing to submit a speaker for consideration rather than a panel or presentation idea can email Nicole Hennessey at [email protected].

The deadline to submit is November 10 at 6 p.m. CT with chosen entries notified by December 8.
