co·da noun /ˈkōdə/ - the concluding passage of a piece or movement, typically forming an addition to the basic structure.
These past two days have been about what tomorrow will hold, and the various tools, services and policies that can support a sustainable 21st century music ecosystem. We've touched on ticketing, licensing, remixing and community building. Artists, attorneys, entrepreneurs and coders have shared their vision. So where are we now? What seems most promising for musicians and policymakers as they tackle an uncertain and evolving marketplace? This concluding session will attempt to make (some) sense of it all.
