Educational Schedule

Panel Discussion Day

Friday, November 6, 2009 – The Rodd Grand Yarmouth

Delegate Pass Required for Admission

5 Minute Pitch to Buyers – Presented by Ticketpro
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Haley’s Lounge

Here is your opportunity to “pitch” your music/showcase to music buyers attending Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week. Buyers from Music Nova Scotia’s Bringin’ it Home Program and all our international buyers will be your audience. Last year, the Bringin’ it Home buyers purchased nearly $100,000 worth of performances as a result of the pitch session.

Opening and Introduction
10:10 AM – 10:25 AM Yarmouth Room

The tone of the entire digital conference will be set with an introduction from Music Ally.

Speaker: Juan Paz – Music Ally


Keynote Interview
10:35 AM – 11:25 AM Yarmouth Room

Now that you are familiar with how the business has changed, find out how to monetize your content. A look at the new services and how artists will get paid is always a worthwhile conversation isn’t it?  This discussion will show you ways to make money that you didn’t know existed before.

Interviewee: Scott Cohen – The Orchard
Interviewer: Steve Mayall – Music Ally

How New Platforms are Changing the Music Business
11:35 AM – 12:25 PM Yarmouth Room

We’ve all heard that the music business has changed and that peer-to-peer and digital download sites are the future. This is the definitive discussion with the world’s digital providers that will set the record straight once and for all.

Panelist: Adam Farrell - Beggars
Panelist: Erik Nielsen - Wingnut
Panelist : Dave Haynes - SoundCloud
Panelist: Scott Cohen – The Orchard
Panelist: Greg Stephens - thelawoffice.ca
Moderator: Juan Paz – Music Ally

Forget the Recording and Focus on Live?
1:10 PM – 2:00 PM Yarmouth Room

It’s no secret, for many artists, live performances are where the money is and the CD or download is just a promotion for the tour. But while it’s clear that this model works for some stadium bands, can it work for smaller artists? And how do you get on an international circuit?

Panelist: Ian Richards – Academy Music Group
Panelist: Carlo Scarampi - Barfly Club
Panelist: Martin Elbourne – Glastonbury, The Great Escape
Panelist: Lisa Paulon - Camden Crawl, Traffic Marketing
Moderator: Erik Nielsen - Wingnut

Getting the Deal, and Hitting the Road. The Changing Dynamic of the Labels and the Live Industry
2:10 PM – 3:00 PM Yarmouth Room

This interview will open your eyes to what record label & live music executives are thinking these days and how they are working with new artists in these changing times. How has the dynamic between labels and the live industry changed over the last decade? How do both sides work with some of the brands that want to get into music? And what does the future hold for traditional record companies?

Interviewee: Adam Farrell - Beggars Group
Interviewer: Steve Mayall – Music Ally

Music Managers Panel
3:10 PM – 4:00 PM Yarmouth Room

This panel will focus on the changing role of managers in the digital age and will feature music managers from Nova Scotia and beyond.

Panelist: Sheri Jones - Jones and Co.
Panelist: Louis Thomas - Sonic Entertainment Group
Panelist: Scott Cohen - Manager - The Raveonettes
Moderator: Erik Nielsen - Wingnut Music, Marillion


The Debate
4:10 PM – 5:00 PM Yarmouth Room

The Panel and Audience Debate will have representatives from each panel and will discuss music as a service and how best to monetize the new business.  This is a no holds barred debate that the audience is encouraged to join and should be a hot bed of new ideas and strong opinions.

Opening Reception

6:00 PM - 7:30 PM  The Rodd Grand Yarmouth Convention Centre
