A Sponsorship Opportunity
With Multiple Benefits

Now in its fifth year, the FMC Policy Summit brings an unprecedented group of panelists and keynote speakers together with an engaged and diverse audience for a robust debate about the critical issues at the intersection of music, law, technology and policy.

Widely praised by advocates and industry alike, our Policy Summits have gained a reputation as “a kind of Geneva where all sides in any number of contentious music industry fights can get together and play nice for a few days. Even more importantly, it offers pinstriped Washingtonians a rare opportunity to hear musicians articulate their concerns in person instead of relying on competing lobbying groups that claim to espouse their interests.” Washington Post, May 6, 2004

FMC's Policy Summit provides sponsors with a unique opportunity to be associated with an event that attracts a unique mix of musicians, technologists and policymakers. Despite their different backgrounds attendees and panelists share an enthusiasm for technology, a respect for artists and a belief in the value of informed debate leading to positive change.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor of the 2005 Policy Summit. Your sponsorship will ensure that we are able to bring the best and brightest panelists to the table. You'll also allow us to continue to offer scholarships to over 200 working musicians, and discounted registration rates for students.

Plus, this Summit offers you visibility that no other conference can provide. With sponsorship packages starting as low as $500, you can ensure that your organization or company's name and logo are incorporated into the event's website, print materials, program and on-site signage. Please see our sponsorship package [PDF] to find a level that best meets your needs.

Who Should Sponsor

Technology companies: FMC's audience includes many early adopters and trendsetters. Not only will a sponsorship raise your visibility, but the Summit is also a great place to network.

Music Associations & Organizations: Raise your organization's profile with an audience that is already interested in engaging in policy and advocacy issues.

Academic Institutions: Demonstrate your school's commitment to addressing the most current challenges to IP and copyright law by joining us as a sponsor.

Law Firms: The IP/entertainment law firm field is a crowded one. Distinguish your law firm as one that recognizes the complexities of the shifting copyright and contract landscape by joining us as a sponsor.
