Music Biz 2016

This panel of music industry experts has been gathered to help students learn how to up their game in competing for internships and job opportunities. With representatives from the Recording, Publishing and Live Entertainment side of the business, students will hear from executives about ways they can build their resumes and be better prepared -- beyond their academic progress -- for successfully getting a job in the music industry.

The overall meetup will take place from 11AM to 1PM framing the conversation around the following ideas: Working in the music business is as popular a goal as ever with new graduates, even with the challenges, contraction and shifting revenue streams the business is experiencing. Do you have what it takes and is course selection alone enough to give you what you need to be successful in your pursuit? During this meet up, we'll discuss what shifts universities are exploring in their music programs, real life paths successful executives have followed, and the importance of internships. Finally, we'll play drop the needle and test your knowledge, as well as enact some role playing scenarios to see if you are a student of the music business.
