The cost of attending a UK university as
an undergraduate in 2018 could cost up to £9000 a year, which equates to almost
£30k over a 3-year university tenure. Imagine what that investment could yield
for during the same period of time, if chosen instead to use it to build a
studio, set-up an event or launch a record label. Or would you lack the
necessary skills and acumen required to achieve any of the aforementioned,
without having cut your teeth on a university degree first?
We’ve curated a diverse panel of industry
professionals & entrepreneurs to discuss just that. Our panelists will be
guiding us through their respective journeys in education, before debating if these had any impact on
their current position in the music industry, and concluding whether going to
university is really worth the time, cost and effort. The aim of the panel is
to give the audience an insight on how to reach their career aims as well as
practical tips for future entrepreneurs and industry professionals.

- 14:35 is the underground
underground anymore? Moderator: Sammy Verghese (The Arch, Brighton), Judy
Griffith (Fabric), Firas Waez & Serge Santiago (Producers Waze &
Odyssey), Jack Bridges (Beatport). Has the mainstream success of dance music
artists resulted in dance music becoming a corporate product? Have artist's
demands, such as 5* hotels and limousine pick-ups made dance music resemble pop
artists? Do ever inflated fee's have a knock on effect for festival and club
shows having to charge high ticket prices and therefore alienating access to
music on financial grounds? What’s the future of the underground?

Creative Law & Business) Andrew Sharland (Leading Partner, Clintons), Peter
Oxendale (Forensic Musicologist), Alison Hook (Head of Sampling & Copyright
Infringement Sony/ATV Publishing), Jules O’Riordan AKA Judge Jules (Global
DJ/Lawyer, Sheridans), Saranne Reid (General Manager, Crown Management/MD
Sample Clearance Services). This year’s legal panel will be dissecting two
topical subjects. (a) Re-records. Many producer/artists seem to be
re-recording their old hits (sometimes in conjunction with a publisher), so
they then can exploit themselves. How do you avoid breaching the terms of the
original record contract? In which ways might a re-record infringe the
copyright or performers’ rights in the original recording, particularly if it’s
a near identical recreation? (b) Covers There’s been a recent trend towards crossover success
for dance producers covering or interpreting existing compositions. What legal
right does an artist have to make and release a cover version? What
constitutes a “faithful” cover version and what doesn’t? What rights do
publishers have to insist that a new composition is a cover when it's
not?
12:30 – 13:10 BPI Presents – Subject
TBC.

15:50 – 16:30 Trial by social media:
dealing with a PR disaster. Moderator: Lee Smith (Leak Delete), Anna
Wall (PR), George Hull (Bloc), Angie Towse
(The Rest is Noise). Following a string of widely publicised controversies in dance music,
we ask: are we right to call out offensive behaviour online? Who do social
