Meet the Publishers
Introducing the Meet the Publishers networking session – a curated networking experience taking place at the ADE Matchmaking Hub at the Rosewood hotel. Connect with music publishers and publishing professionals to discuss songwriting, rights management, sync opportunities, catalogue development and creative partnerships. Everyone is welcome to join, and you'll be encouraged to move around the room, introduce yourself to as many professionals as possible, and make the most of this dynamic networking format.
The session will begin with a short introduction to the participating professionals before opening up into one-on-one networking. Come prepared with a short introduction to yourself and your work. We also recommend bringing business cards or a QR code with your contact details to make following up after the session quick and easy.
