As part of the TGE Convention's In:Conversation programme, CMU MD and Business Editor Chris Cooke will be in conversation with Kobalt Founder and CEO Willard Ahdritz on Thursday 17 May at 4.15pm.
We will discuss how Kobalt has sought to revolutionise the management and monetisation of music rights, the impact that has had on the wider music publishing sector, and how he sees the company's AWAL venture changing the business of recorded music. Plus what challenges and opportunities remain for artists and songwriters today?
CMU Insights presents Willard Ahdritz In Conversation at Dukes at Komedia at 4.15pm on Thursday 17 May.
CMU Insights is also contributing to the programme at the all new AIM House venue which is opening its doors at The Great Escape for the first time this year.
We will unveil a major new research project that CMU Insights and AIM are undertaking which will map the digital music supply chain for the first time. We will present a new guide to music distribution that explains the different kinds of delivery partners labels can now work with, as well as outlining the wider research programme.
AIM and CMU Insights present Mapping The Music Supply Chain at AIM House at 4.30pm on Friday 18 May.
CMU celebrates its twentieth birthday in the middle of The Great Escape this year, and we will mark the occasion with a very special edition of Heroes & Villains, the popular panel that always closes the TGE Convention each year.
As always, four music industry veterans will discuss the highs and lows of their careers to date, and the heroes and villains they met along the way. But this year, all four panelists were early supporters of CMU back in the late 1990s: advertisers, publicists and contributors who supported the magazine in its earliest days.
On the panel will be CMU co-founder and MD Chris Cooke, plus Pat Carr from Remote Control, Sumit Bothra from ATC Management and broadcaster Edward Adoo. Your host is journalist and talent scout Stephen Jones.
CMU presents Heroes & Villains at The Old Courtroom at 4.30pm on Saturday 19 May.
Setlist, the music business podcast from CMU, will be in the house at this year's TGE, interviewing panellists who are taking part in the CMU Insights conferences.
Setlist will be setting up its studio in Dukes at Komedia screen two on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, interviewing panellists as they come off stage from screen one between midday and 4pm. There'll be new interviews on the hour and half past the hour.
These interviews will be podcast later this year, but you can also watch the conversations as they happen on the day, hear more in-depth discussions from our key panellists, and ask your own questions too.
Setlist at The Great Escape will be recording on Wednesday 16, Thursday 17 and Friday 18 May from midday to 4pm in Dukes at Komedia screen two.
