Record Labels in the New Music Economy
Record companies are the #1 investors in music.
While some believe that labels are now becoming increasingly relevant in the music industry, others point to the disruption the streaming platforms and distribution companies have caused. The traditional power players, record companies are used to having creative control over artists — but the tradition is changing, causing many to put the main emphasis on the commercial side of things. Having to constantly deal with intellectual property protection, the growing diversity of the music scene, the reign of social media, and other rising issues proves: today, it is more important than ever for labels to be able to adapt.
At the "Record Labels in the New Music Economy" panel discussion we will talk about:
- IPO: how to take the maximum out of the music industry at its peak
- Are label deals the only path to becoming a global superstar
- Navigating the turbulent ecosystem: how do record companies keep their power position in the music industry
- Breaking the US dominance: are labels’ doors open for everyone
