ALERT: FUTURE OF MUSIC POLICY SUMMIT COMING IN OCTOBER
This fall marks the return of the Future of Music Policy Summit which takes place at Georgetown University in DC for it’s 10th iteration, October 3rd-5th. In it’s 10 year, the FMC Summit brings together musicians, industry insiders, and policy makers to discuss music policy in the new Internet era.
