Singer and songwriter Lisa Loeb has been named as the keynote speaker for the 10th annual Guild of Music Supervisors State of Music in Media Conference.
Other notable speakers include music supervisors Julianne Jordan, Amanda Krieg Thomas, John Houlihan, Carolyn Owens, Steven Gizicki, Trygge Toven, Joel C. High, Thomas Golubić, Catherine Grieves, Burt Blackarach, and the President and Director of The Recording Academy LA Chapter Julia Michels and Qiana Conley.
The all-day event will be held on Aug. 17 at the West LA College campus in Culver City, California.
Other highlights include programming that celebrates the Emmy-nominated music supervisors, and several panels on AI.
Artificial intelligence by way of machine learning is the latest existential threat to the music business. As the technology behind it gets richer and more intelligent, the panel titled AI Challenges and Changes to the Industry and New Opportunities for Creatives will address its impact.
Executive producer Doug Liman (“Suits L.A.”) and music supervisor Julianne Jordan will also be in conversation. The creatives behind Prime Video’s “Fallout” are also expected to lead a panel discussion on the transition from game to streaming series.
As part of the 10th Annual Conference, there will be 1-on-1 networking sessions for aspiring music supervisors to meet those working in the field of music supervision.
The first ever Music Supervisor Listening Session will feature Music Supervisors listening and giving live feedback to five songs selected from Friend of the Guild (“FOG”) submissions. The session goes behind the process of how music supervisors listen and respond to tracks when considering them for placement.
Further panels and music networking opportunities are expected to be added in the coming weeks.
