The PanelPicker is a two-step online system that allows the SXSW community to have a significant voice in programming of the panels, presentations, discussions, demonstrations, etc. for 2012.
PRS for Music submitted two ideas to the SXSW 2012 Panel picker.
Money doesn’t grow on trees: Protecting your rights and growing your finances. A panel of senior lawyers, accountants and music managers offer advice on understanding where it does grow and how to make sure you get your share. Advice from an expert panel on making money, making smart decisions and making the most of your rights to build a career as artists and songwriters in the current age.
Everything you need to know about one of the world’s most influential music markets. Topics covered will include: suggestions of key tastemakers not to miss when planning your campaign in the UK (radio stations, blogs, venues, people, magazines and influential websites to try); promotional schemes and ideas to try; local tips ; licensing opportunities and choices; do's and don’ts from professionals who've been there and done it; different revenue streams to consider and differences between the US and UK. Experienced music professionals share case studies of what previously successful acts have done and how they’ve achieved what they have. The UK is one of the most creative, fertile and fast-changing musical environments in the world – success here can often be the springboard you need to lead to success worldwide. Adele, Coldplay, Taio Cruz, The Killers and the Kings of Leon have all used success in the UK as an incubator before going global and this session could help you gain the information you need to be next. Lay the foundations for global success by building your band in the UK.
