Level Up: Music Publishing


Following the success of our Music Publishing 101 developed and presented by Music Publishers Canada in July 2021, we are back with an updated 2-day online series! 

Understanding the role of a music publisher, publishing administration and the broader publishing ecosystem is an essential part of effective artist management.  Music publishing is a keystone for the career of any artist who is also a songwriter and/or composer. Music Publishers Canada has created a new two part series which examines various aspects of the publishing industry, with subjects specifically curated for MMF Canada’s community. 

“Level Up: Music Publishing” will be a combination of webinar-style presentations, panels, Q+A and breakout room discussion.  Sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants. 

This series is suitable for music managers, self-managed artists, and other music industry professionals with beginner to intermediate knowledge of international music publishing.  

Speakers will be confirmed soon!  A full schedule will be provided to registrants - see more details below!

TICKETS: Free for MMF Canada Members - please login to your MMF Member Portal and click the Member Discounts & Events tab.
For non-members, registration is $125.
