The Indie Managers Association Presents Film & TV Licensing Seminar for the Independent Music Community

The Indie Managers Association Presents Film & TV Licensing Seminar for the Independent Music Community.

The Indie Managers Association (IMA), a company that promotes the education of the independent music management community, presents the “GETTING YOUR MUSIC INTO THE FILM, TV, VIDEOGAME AND INTERNATIONAL MARKETS” seminar on Friday August 27, 2004 in Rockville Maryland.

ROCKVILLE, MD (PRWEB) July 5, 2004

This daylong seminar is organized to provide timely, useful and practical information on the subject of music licensing and is geared towards the independent music community. This includes artists, songwriters, musicians, producers, record labels, publishers and managers. Anybody that creates music or represents somebody who creates music can benefit from this seminar. Almost all styles of music can be licensed and used in the Film, TV and International marketplace, sometimes regardless of label affiliations or track record. However, licensing music presents many sets of challenges that must be fully explored and understood in order to succeed in the business.

Independent artists, musicians, publishers and labels have to become more proactive in marketing music copyrights to potential licensees and music users. Music-based licensing royalties in North America alone totaled more than $120 million last year and accounted for more than $2 billion in retail sales, according to the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers Association.
