Martin Atkins to give keynote address at Music Law Conference

Music Law Conference

The Music Law Conference at The University of Florida Levin College of Law is hosting its 7th annual conference on Feb. 20 and 21, 2009. The conference brings together musicians, lawyers, students, academics, policy makers and entertainment professionals for a weekend to network, learn, and share ideas. It is our goal that everyone, from the disgruntled ex-band member to the seasoned entertainment attorney, that attends the conference will leave with a new perspective on the music industry.

The theme of this year’s conference is “From the Suits to the Stage.” We will explore topics that every musician and future entertainment professional needs to know, as well as some new topics that even the most experienced lawyers and managers should hear. Possible panel topics include: digital and retail markets, new forms of music distribution, international issues, ethical issues, protecting musicians’ rights, understanding both sides of the table, the art of business, and basic D.I.Y. (Do-It-Yourself) ideas for new artists.

Martin will give the keynote address.
