THURSDAY, March 11th, 2010 - 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Aussie Rules: Touring Down Under Room: Salon B On the surface, touring Australia should be a lot like touring in Canada - a handful of big, vibrant cities, separated by a lot of nothing. But there are other things to negotiate besides the roads across the Outback. The country that gave us acts from the Bee Gees to Men At Work to INXS has a remarkably music-savvy population, and its own unique rulebook for success. This panel of wizards of Oz will guide you down the road to success as a touring performer, with attention to venues, publicity and promoters who’ll pay you more than the price of a vegemite sandwich.

THURSDAY, March 11th, 2010 - 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Artist As Entrepreneur In A Digital Age Room: Salon A It may seem scary out there without a label. On the other hand, if you take charge of your own career, the only “recoupable expenses” you ever have to deal with are ones you personally sign off on.

FRIDAY, March 12th, 2010 - 1:40 PM - 2:30 PM Could Collective Licensing For P-2-P File Sharing Be A Future Source Of Income For The Music Industry? Room: Salon B We’ve come a long way from the free-for-all of Napster and Kazaa. But even with the millions of sales on iTunes and other legit services, file-sharing still outstrips CDs and authorized downloads combined. Having failed at outright war - and dealing with a crippled business model - the industry’s hope may lie in exercising “soft power,” entering into collective licensing agreements with ISP providers that would allow music downloading based on a monthly fee a la cable TV. It’s a route favoured by “public domain” activists and progressive industry thinkers alike. In this session, we crunch some numbers and figure out the relative benefit for artists, songwriters and labels.

FRIDAY, March 12th, 2010 - 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Spotlight On India - PART 2 Room: Salon B They’re technically advanced, their lingua franca is English, they make more movies than Hollywood and their appetite for Western culture dovetails with their own strong cultural identity.

FRIDAY, March 12th, 2010 - 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM KEYNOTE Dave Stewart Room: Ballroom Dave Stewart has always been too prodigiously creative for one band. A true Renaissance Rocker (and, in Bob Dylan’s assessment “a fearless innovator”) this founding member of Eurythmics went on to co-write songs with other artists (Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, Katy Perry), produce (Bon Jovi, Ringo Starr), create theatre (the musical Barbarella), film (the rock ‘n’ roll feature Honest, the documentary Deep Blues: A Musical Pilgrimage To The Crossroads) and in general became master of all media.

SATURDAY, March 13th, 2010 - 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM A&R In A Wireless World Room: Salon B A&R used to be simple stuff. You’d get a CD demo (an obsolete medium), plug the artist to your friends at the papers (remember them?), convince radio PDs to insert the song (yes, they used to be able to do that) and ship the product to, um, record stores. So what’s replaced all that in the A&R job description? This session examines how A&R is evolving to operate within new music platforms - both on the discovery side and the delivery side.

SATURDAY, March 13th, 2010 - 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM KEYNOTE: Paul Williams Panel: The Kings Of Songwriting Room: Concert Hall He’s a member of the Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame, the President of ASCAP and one of the most prolific tunesmiths in history - from chart hits (multiples for Three Dog Night and The Carpenters), to Oscar-nominated soundtrack hits (including an Oscar win for Barbra Streisand’s Evergreen) to theatrical scores (including the current Happy Days Musical). Paul Williams knows all about work and inspiration, and knows what a hit sounds like in virtually any genre. He’s got practical advice for anyone looking to tap their creativity, and - who knows? - his magic just might be contagious. Panel: Their genres may vary, but this panel of songwriters all share one common thing - they continue to write hit after hit. Although different musical styles demand different approaches to performing and recording, a well-written song is a well written song, whether it’s a country rave-up, an infectious pop standard or a rock anthem. These chartbusting writers will explore the common ground all great songs must share.
