MusicTank events feature top-drawer speakers and attract a rich and dynamic cross-industry audience; open to all, they also afford excellent networking opportunities. Think Tanks are pitched at mid-level and assume a level of knowledge concerning the music industry in general, if not the subject matter itself.

Let’s Sell Recorded Music! Part1: Here We Are Now, Entertain Us
Since Napster first reared its head in the late nineties, the recorded music business has tried in vain to put the genie back in the bottle. The result - some pr blunders and an estimated 20:1 illegal/legal download rate. This series of think tanks will focus on effective legitimate P2P alternatives and over the course of four events will review what people want, where technology is heading, what the most plausible new models are and how they might be licensed. Kicking off the series, we take a long hard look at what music consumers actually want and how this tallies with the status quo and raft of new services in various stages of development or launch.

Deal Or No Deal? The Great Artist/Label Trade-Off
“We need to enter into a new relationship with our artists, where they see us as partners rather than the enemy."...said Ged Doherty, Chairman & CEO Sony BMG earlier this year. Building on December's sell-out think tank, this session will further explore the redefinition of the artist-label relationship - would 360 models become more attractive if labels took another look at unattributable recording income?
