MPA Induction Course 4th & 5th March 2020

04/03/20

Event Overview

The MPA Induction Course is one of the most renowned courses in the industry. Happening three times a year the course sees an expert group of panellists put the spotlight on all areas of music publishing; copyright royalties, sync, societies, legal issues and data.

Since it began, almost everyone in the music publishing industry has attended the induction course at some point and as such, this esteemed course is nearly always over-subscribed. The MPA Social, which happens four times a year, normally lands on the second day of the course, where attendees are able to network and socialise in an informal environment.

Our panellists are the most senior executives in our industry and give an all-around introduction to music publishing.

The next Induction Course will be on the 4th & 5th March. Bookings are now open, please fill in the MPA Induction Course Booking form March 2020 and send it to [email protected]
