Matt Hancock MP, minister of state for Digital and Culture, will deliver the keynote address at the BPI’s 2016 AGM.
Taking place on 7 September at County Hall’s Riverside Rooms, the event will be the first speech from the minister to the recorded music community since his appointment on 15 July.
Geoff Taylor, BPI and BRIT Awards chief executive, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome the minister to our AGM following his recent appointment.
‘Music is a successful and growing digital industry for the UK, and it is encouraging that the minister has recognised this by addressing us at this early stage of the new government.’
The day will commence with the Annual Conference to Members (ACM) at 1.30pm, including two panel discussions on how to market your music through streaming services and Brexit and the implications for the UK music industry.
This will be followed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) itself, which, as part of its order of business, will also include the election of designated major and independent representatives to BPI Council (details and filmed candidate manifestos are available in the members section of the BPI website).
In addition the AGM will also celebrate the forthcoming 25th anniversary of the BRIT School, London’s music and creative arts college. The instition has been in large part funded by the charitable arm of the BPI and the BRIT Awards - the BRIT Trust.
