Future of Music Policy Summit 2006 Montreal
The 6th Annual Future of Music Policy Summit which we held in conjunction with Pop Montreal and McGill University may have been the best one yet. Even at the end of the third day, the last panel was being wrapped up after running a half hour longer than scheduled and folks didn’t want it to end! While I wish I had more time to convey much of what went on, many of the panels can be seen here. While some of the sessions such as David Byrne’s Presentation: Record Companies: Who Needs Them? and the abovementioned “How the Money Moves” with Mario Bouchard, Ann Chaitovitz, Michael Hausman, and Marcy Rauer Wagman don’t have video available, I’m just happy that most of the panels were extremely interesting, and glad that most of them are up. Check out the Young Musicians panel with Win Butler of The Arcade Fire, Tourquil Campbell of Stars, Composer Brian Current, Bernadette Houde from Lesbians on Ecstacy, and Attorney Chris Taylor.
