Short description of the Panel
The creative community has never been so productive, while it has never been more difficult for projects to get signed. In today’s competitive creative markets, are artists’ managers in charge of artists’ development? Are we witnessing a transfer of risks, both entrepreneurial and financial, towards the manager? Are managers the new entrepreneurs, setting up and managing labels, publishing companies, organising tours for up-and-coming new acts? This session will spotlight the new challenges that the artists’ managers are facing in this new 360° business model.
Speakers:
_ Ron Stone, President of Gold Mountain Entertainment (USA)
_ Emily White, Co-Founder & Manager of Whitesmith Entertainment (USA)
Moderator:
_ Didier Zerath, President of AMA (France), IMMF treasurer
