CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK 2009 SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON CHINA

Continuing our commitment to international outreach, Canadian Music Week brings you "Spotlight On China" for 2009.  This in-depth focus will provide delegates with an insider's look at the Chinese music market through panels and one-on-one discussions.  Industry professionals from all over China will be at your disposal to discuss potential opportunities for Canadians in the Chinese market. Topics will cover cultural diversity, market size, business models and prices, efforts for music exports, institutional relationships in music business, the market for live performance, events, festivals and concert venues.

As part of this initiative, Canadian Music Week is partnering with Music Matters – The Asia Pacific Music Forum - to bring you the best programming possible.

Conducted in the heart of the world’s most dynamic region, Music Matters - taking place June 3-5, 2008 in Hong Kong – presents a hard hitting program featuring solutions focused panel discussions and sessions from some of the industry’s most legendary pioneers, including: Paul McGuinness (Manager, U2), Terry McBride (CEO Nettwerk Music and manager of Avril Lavigne) and Bob Lefsetz (author of the Lefsetz letter).
