Industry Development

new technologies are forever changing the ways in
which people create, buy, sell and listen to music.
Such matters are among the many debated
at Winter Music Conference. The WMC program
brings together informed professionals to present
new ideas, discuss industry issues, and build new
inroads for business development. Meetings and seminars
focus on topics such as market strategies,
artist development, copyrighting, publishing, writing
contracts, artist management, distribution, radio,
promotion, internet retailing, and the media, just
to name a few. With more than 30 important meetings
and seminars on the agenda, WMC will continue
its mission to provide a decisive global platform
for resolving the current challenges and stimulating
new industry growth and revenue.

Conference is the convergence of industry executives,

level of exposure WMC provides for artists and
DJs is invaluable. WMC offers endless opportunities
for DJs and artists to network and have their
