Keynote Skype Interview – Seth Godin (USA)
Described by American Way Magazine as the ‘Worlds Best Marketer’ Seth will challenge everything you currently think… “Art [in this context] is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another. . . . I think it’s art when a great customer service person uses a conversation to convert an angry person into a raving fan.” Be Inspired!

Law – What is it Good For?
When it comes to selecting bandmates, the process is often pretty indiscriminate. Whether it’s you sister’s boyfriend, a dude you went to school with, or a complete stranger with semi-competence on a particular instrument, the screening process is not always what it might be. So it can come as a surprise to learn that this random combination of individuals, with varying motives (art, commerce, boredom), skills and commitment, is in fact part of a legal entity (a partnership) with shared assets, liabilities and responsibilities. This session will look at who gets paid, who gets sued, and who owns what in the sometimes complex world of the band. We will also look at the most common contractual pitfalls for bands and who is ultimately responsible if things turn sour.
Friday Feb 24 | 12:15 – 1:15 pm
Speakers | David Vodicka, Ben Strong, Franz Schuller, Geoff Trio
Moderator | Darren Sanicki

Games & Music – “Talkin Bout A Resolution!”
Making music specifically for games, licensing music to a game…really about exploiting your songs…but can we spin it on its head and create a game that will actually promote your band? Our panel discuss both aspects of the relationship between music and gaming.

Speakers | John Welsh, Ben Kilsby, Dan Monceaux
Moderator | Keith Welsh
International Markets
The US & the UK are a key focus for many Australian artists… How do they really do it? What do the markets look like and look for? Is the global financial ‘crisis’ making it harder? Do you need to succeed in Australia before going overseas? How do events such as SXSW & The Great Escape work?
