Jules Parker, from PRS for Music‘s Membership Development Team, will host the panel, entitled How do I work my act successfully in the UK?, today (11 January) from 4.30pm to 5.30pm in De Oosterpoort, C3, Groningen.
He will be joined by Ollie Jacob (Memphis Industries), Jules De Lattre (Agency Group), Jon Mcildowie (Festival Republic) and Pip Newby (Play It Again Sam/PIAS).
They'll look at how the UK market is changing, how their current artist campaigns are taking shape and how they're different from those in the past. The panel will also provide practical ideas for developing your act in the UK - from those who are already successful outside the UK to those just starting out.
