4/15/13 NY - Pitch Session, Part 1

For our April and May meetings, the AIMP will again offer to our creative members the unique opportunity to craft a song for a few significant artists currently seeking new material.  To the others, it will be an opportunity to learn how the creative side of the business works.  Both sessions will take place at a new venue this year - The Cutting Room in NYC – and are open to all members and guests free of charge.

4/3/13 NY - CMRRA: Scoop on Recent Developments in Canada

David Basskin, President of the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency Ltd., will bring us up to speed on current developments north of the border. 

2/25/13 NY - The Global Repertoire Database

With the explosion of databases and international licensing requirements, the need for accurate copyright information around the world is intense.  Although there are alternatives such as FastTrack, the Global Repertoire Database (GRD) is a leading candidate to fill the void.  Issues such as cost, governance, reliability, and dispute resolution are challenges under discussion.

Join us with panelists involved in the working groups to find out more and to discuss the input of indie publishers.

Understanding the 2 Billion Dollar World of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC - The panel will discuss where the money comes from, how license fees are arrived at, how writers and publishers get paid and the challenges that PROs face now and in the future.
