Businesses have to adapt to the digital age or risk getting left behind, and the music business is no different. Join us on March 24th as we welcome Ryan Hefford, Artist Manager, Director of Touring and Logistics @ The Management Trust. Ryan will lead a discussion on the new music business and the thought process behind artist presentation. We’ll look at the importance of streaming and building momentum in the attention economy and analytics. We’ll also look at various career paths, digital portfolio building, branding, and distribution.
