Creating Music Communities sponsored by AKIMI
"Is there really any such thing as a "Do-It-Yourself" musician?"  

From Alaska to Minnesota, from Nashville to New York and beyond, grassroots music collectives are sprouting up across the country and building connections in the vital space between artists and their successful careers. Join a diverse conversation about harnessing the power of community to create powerful new opportunities for musicians.

Discussion and take aways will include:
  • Case Studies and Strategies: Community organizing for musicians
  • The roles of local musicians, businesses, nonprofits, and governments
  • The Music Business as Community: The power of collaboration vs. "going it alone"
  • Defining "Success" amidst the chaos of the digital media age
  • Balance the isolation of the internet with real-life community action
  • Identify opportunities unique to your situation at home
  • ...and more!
(Presented by the Alaska Independent Musicians Initiative)

Mapping Your Path to Authentic Art and Business
Who are you as an artist?  No, who are you, really?  Constructing an artistic identity is often viewed as an important aspect of developing a personal brand for marketing and promotion.  Yet self-knowledge is also a gateway to authenticity, an essential quality that extends beyond identity marketing to distinguishing your professional goals and values.  This workshop examines authenticity in the context of the entertainment industry and offers tips for personal exploration that may enhance your professional presence, purpose, and strategic planning for success.

Your Recordings = Your Royalties sponsored by SoundExchange
SoundExchange works at the center of digital music and serves as an important source of revenue for the entire music industry. To date, SoundExchange has paid out more than $5 billion in digital performance royalties on behalf of more than 155,000 recording artists and master rights owners accounts – but thousands of music creators don't know they need to register (it’s FREE!) and millions in royalties are unclaimed. SoundExchange's Linda Bloss-Baum provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the organization, why it pays, and how to get your share. This must-attend session will also cover information on copyright, licensing, metadata, legislation, and how to add your voice to important advocacy work.
