A2IM’s Licensing & Publishing Committee will bring new licensing opportunities to our members at the next LA Licensing Day on Tuesday, October 23 from 4PM-7PM at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP (11377 W. Olympic Blvd, LA, map).

This year’s event will be focused on “Licensing: The New Frontier” with two panels looking into new revenue streams coming from emerging platforms.

The first panel will look into opportunities in broadcast vs. internet TV and how the TV model is evolving. Panelists include PJ Bloom of Neophonic, Brian McNelis of Lakeshore Entertainment, and Bob Thiele Jr. The panel will be moderated by David Bakula of Nielsen.

The second panel will look at revenue coming from your existing content with input from panelists Vickie Nauman of 7digital, Bryan Mead of INgrooves Fontana, Cheryl Breindel of RoyaltyShare, and Bob Mocydiowsky of Topspin. This discussion will be moderated by Jason Feinberg of Epitaph / anti- Records.
