A Sponsorship Opportunity with Multiple Benefits

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

FMC's Policy Summit is one of the year's most important music/technology/policy conferences – the place where musicians, industry and policymakers engage in core issues in a meaningful way. In 2006, we will expand these conversations to the world stage by presenting the Summit in Montreal, Canada, in collaboration with McGill University's Schulich School of Music and Pop Montreal.

As one of North America's oldest and most prestigious music schools, McGill University's Schulich School of Music and its state-of-the-art New Music Building provide the perfect setting for forward thinking debates about the present and future state of the music industry. Plus, the Summit will run concurrent with this year's Pop Montreal, an international music, film and art festival that showcases the vibrant independent Canadian music scene. With an expected attendance of more than 37,000 independent musicians and avid music fans, FMC's Policy Summit and Pop Montreal provide an ideal cross-promotional opportunity.

The Policy Summit offers you visibility that no other conference can provide. Your organization will be associated with the best and brightest panelists and the most timely debates. When combined with McGill and Pop Montreal, there is no richer cultural and intellectual environment to showcase your organization. With sponsorship packages at all price ranges, you can be certain that your organization or company is associated with this premiere event. Please contact us today to design a marketing partnership 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 and 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.
