The ASCAP I Create Music EXPO

DEVELOP YOUR CRAFT, BOOST YOUR CAREER AND MAXIMIZE YOUR SUCCESS

LEARN FROM THE GREATS ACROSS ALL MUSICAL GENRES
One of the most valuable features of ASCAP's EXPO is the unique coming-together of top songwriters and composers from across all genres to share their knowledge, expertise and advice. While many of the panels are genre-specific, others are designed to bring together the greatest names across different genres to compare notes, swap ideas and give attendees an unparalleled exploration of what it means to create music in the modern world. Writing and producing workshops and master classes with contemporary hitmakers also provide real, useful and expert advice to help develop your craft.

EXPLORE A WIDER RANGE OF MUSICAL OPPORTUNITIES
You may be a rock songwriter who wants to break into writing for film and television. Or you may be an R&B writer/producer with an idea for breaking into the lucrative children's music market. Whatever your goal, the 2007 EXPO will provide participants with an even greater opportunity to explore a wider variety of musical avenues. The 2007 EXPO is being expanded to include more panels covering rock, country, pop, R&B, film and television music, musical theatre, jazz and concert, and new panels will explore comedy music, children's music, video game music, "free-thinkers" and other topics. Other panels will look at where music is headed and how you can better prepare yourself and your career, plus more panels discussing the legal, business and technological issues facing today's music creators.

These sessions will give registrants the chance to have their music discussed by a panel of experts who write, listen to, or select music for a living. A limited number of songs submitted by registrants will be chosen and discussed in front of an audience. The panels will illuminate how industry professionals, such as A&R executives, publishers, songwriters, producers and music supervisors, choose the music they do - and why. All EXPO registrants can easily submit online up to three songs for consideration and review other registrants music as well.
