The Great Escape has announced its keynote speakers for 2023.
BPI and Youth Music Chair YolanDa Brown, President of the PRS Members’ Council Michelle Escoffery, promoter and Afro Nation co-founder Smade, and Ticketmaster's EVP of Global Music David Marcus will all present in-conversation keynotes at next year’s conference.
The events will cover the speakers’ careers and advocacy work, as well as innovations and opportunities in the music sector. The programme of keynote in conversations sits alongside the CMU + The Great Escape Sessions, three full-day strands curated and hosted by the music business experts at CMU. Each strand puts the spotlight on a different aspect of the business of music, in 2023 these will be music and education, music and deals, and music and the creator economy.
Delegates also have access to a series of panels, workshops and networking events presented by The Great Escape’s industry partners, and priority access to the 2023 festival.
In addition, the festival has announced that Carousel, the Brighton-based charity championing the rights of artists with learning disabilities, has come on board as 2023’s charity partner while leading music school BIMM returns as the education partner.
