Meanwhile, the Palma Songwriting Camp will run concurrently from September 29 to October 3, bringing together 21 selected writers from IMPF member publishers. It culminates in a listening session open to all Palma delegates on the Thursday evening.
IMPF president Annette Barrett said: “The fact that we have been able to attract such a high calibre of keynote speakers to this year’s event demonstrates just how far the IMPF Global Music Summit has come in such a short space of time. Golnar, David and Mike are at the forefront of the modern music industry and each bring a unique and vital perspective on the music publishing landscape that I’m sure this year’s delegates will find incredibly insightful.
