The Download: Back by popular demand, this exclusive event puts you ‘in the room’ (virtually) with top decision-makers who can license your music for films, television, trailers, advertising, and video games. Each music supervisor will share inside information on their current needs and how you can best interact with them. ALL are welcome in the Download session that takes place at the beginning of the meeting.


The Upload: Equipped with the information given at The Download, you now have the opportunity to sit ‘face to face’ (virtually) with your favorite supervisor. Pitch them music for the projects they spoke about, or chat and begin to form a meaningful relationship. The time is yours to do with it what you want! Meeting times will be approximately 8 minutes. Space is limited in the Upload one/one meeting virtual meetings due to our limited number of supervisors this year.
