More details have been revealed today about this year's TGE Conference, including the CMU+TGE programme that this year will put the focus on music education, digital dollars and music marketing. The TGE Conference, of course, sits at the heart of The Great Escape showcase festival, taking place in Brighton each May.
Among today's announcements are the first 40 speakers, information about the TGE In Conversation series and confirmation of three new pieces of research from CMU Insights that will be unveiled during the event.
The Music Education Conference takes place on Wednesday 8 May, building on the debates that occurred at TGE 2018 on how music educators and the music industry can be more closely aligned. CMU Insights will present the first phase of its 'Redefining Music Education' research, while topics covered on the day will include whether the music curriculum needs a wider definition of music making and how educators and employers can better support each other's work.
Confirmed speakers for the education strand include Bridget Whyte from Music Mark, Marie Bessant from OCR, Matt Griffiths from Youth Music, Max Wheeler from Charanga, Pamela McCormick from Urban Development and Sam Nicholls from Music Leeds.
The Digital Dollars Conference on Thursday 9 May will review the deals, the processes and the networks behind the streaming business. It will look at the evolution of music distribution, at the case for user-centric royalty distribution, and at how data initiatives and copyright reform are impacting on the way digital music works. Plus, MMF will publish the latest of its 'Digital Dollar' guides putting the spotlight on songwriter royalties.
