AIMP Nashville To Host ‘A Conversation With Marc Rucker From SoundExchange’

The AIMP Nashville chapter will be hosting a special in-person event, “A Conversation with Marc Rucker From SoundExchange,” next Tuesday (July 26) at 11:30 a.m. CT in the SESAC office in Nashville.

The event will feature a conversation between Rucker (Manager, Industry Engagement at SoundExchange Nashville) and Tim Hunze (VP of Publishing, Big Machine Music), who will talk all things SoundExchange, including the launch of many new tools for publishers.

SoundExchange collects and distributes digital performance royalties on behalf of over 260,000 creators and has paid nearly $9 billion in distributions to date. The organization distributes royalties to creator groups, advocates for fair pay across platforms, and creates systems that improve how the industry operates.

The event is free for AIMP members and $20 for non-members, with registration available here.

The New York Chapter will also host a special webinar on Tuesday at 11 a.m. CT entitled “An Update from the Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC).” The MLC CEO Kris Ahrend will give an overview of how The MLC serves music publishers and other rightsholders and give an update on the organization’s work to date, including its distribution of more than half a billion dollars in royalties to its members.

The webinar is free and open to the public with registration.
