Southeast Asia was once a geopolitical “hot spot.” Today, it’s an economic one, with combined GDP of $1.4 trillion represented in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With free trade and a robust appetite for Western music, they offer huge trade opportunities for our artists and industry. Professionals from ASEAN will present valuable market overviews (including publishing and licensing, live, digital and mobile) and hard numbers to delegates in intimate forums.

Justin Bieber, K’naan, Justin Nozuka… Canadian artists all, who’ve recently clambered up the French music charts. What makes their success more striking is that they’re Anglophones who’ve crashed a linguistic barrier. French music fans have long been a welcoming audience for Quebecois artists. Now Canadian Music Week looks forward to carving new inroads for Anglophones with music companies in France and its territories. With 65 million people, France is the third most populous country in Europe. We’ve got the contacts – including labels, distributors, promoters, agents and publishers - to help you break into the Gallic market.

Radio, posters and flyers. Back in the days of album rock and vinyl, they were the holy trinity of concert awareness and kick-starting word-of-mouth. Today, the arsenal includes mass emails, and social networking, from fansites to blogs to Twitter and Facebook. You can carpet-bomb or you can narrowcast, according to market strategy and the nature of the audience.
Meanwhile, fans wield the power of instant gratification – from cheap ticket searches to online petitions that illuminate demand hotspots like a lantern in the dark. Our experts say this is just the beginning, and unsold concert ticket inventory suggests it still has far to go. Find out how this symbiosis is evolving and how it’s filling seats.

In live music, it’s the ultimate in thinking big. Festivals represent the industry’s most significant step in the evolution of programming enterprise and revenue building. But big payoffs also carry bigger risks, as, say, the producers of last year’s Lilith Fair could tell you. This panel features international festival producers and talent buyers with impressive track records sharing valuable tips and cautionary tales in the game that has come to dominate the half-billion dollar concert industry. From community-based events to traveling “weekend cities,” find out about the future of a phenomenon.

On the face(book) of it, college students are the ideal audience for an artist. With disposable incomes, pockets full of gadgets and a highly networked environment, it’s easy for college students to ingest music. A demographic that has broken bands for decades and launched industry careers for young promoters. But how deep is that well today – and how dependable a market, given that students are also major file-sharers? You may be surprised by how many ways collegians access music, how the demographics (more female, more minorities) have changed the listenership, and, most importantly, how huge a “campus tour” can be.

If you’re an unknown songwriter, this is the session that breaks down the doors. What you find when you get in there will either vindicate your dream and talents, or give you a cold dose of reality. Either way, welcome to CMW’s most dramatic session. Here, ambitious tunesmiths play their demo CDs and have them evaluated by a panel of artists, experts and industry ears. Whether your dream is on the line or not, you’ll absorb incredible insights in the nuts and bolts of songwriting – song structure, lyrics, etc. – in the session and Q&A.

Songs must be submitted on audio CD* and songs will be selected at random. Please bring 4 copies of your lyrics for the panelists. Your CD and lyrics will be returned at the end of the night. A section is played for the entire group, followed by comments from the panel on the relative merits of each song from both a craft and business point of view.

*please check that the CD plays in a regular CD player.
