ASCAP was a lead sponsor of the Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit held September 11-13, 2005 at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC. The Summit brings together a diverse group of artists, academics, lawyers, business leaders, technologists and policymakers for an engaging and in-depth look at the most critical issues at the intersection of music, law, policy and technology.
ASCAP members Joe Henry (songwriter/ producer/ artist) and Matthew Shipp (artist/ avant-garde jazz piano player), ASCAP Senior Vice President, Enterprises Group, Chris Amenita and ASCAP Associate Director of Membership Group/Creative Affairs Marc Hutner were among the featured panelists debating issues such as intellectual property in a post-Grokster world, how emerging technologies are changing genres of music that are less commercially visible and how to work with PROs.
ASCAP also hosted a cocktail reception for all conference attendees. During the reception, Mediaguide Vice President of Business Development Paul Wright demonstrated Mediaguide's proprietary digital fingerprinting technology, which monitors over 2,500 college, non-commercial and commercial radio stations across the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mediaguide isthe world's most comprehensive, accurate, timely, and reliable source for radio airplay information.
