Making Sense of the New Wave in Artist Deals -- The Insider's Guide to 360° " Recording " Deals

After years of financial turbulence and changing business models due to the decline of physical record sales and disruptive technologies, music companies are now commonly viewing recording artists' ancillary income as vital new revenue streams. These broader "360" deals offer potential profits and pitfalls.

This expert panel will provide an insider's guide to these deals, how they are being structured and the types of ancillary income streams that may be included in them. Among other topics, the panel will explore the rationale behind these deals, who administers the income from the deal and how money is collected and paid to the various parties involved to best utilize the new 360 approach to managing artists' revenues for all parties involved.
