MMF-US NY Summit
Join us for the MMF-US New York Summit, an all-day, in-person gathering taking place at Reed Smith’s offices on Monday, June 8th. This curated event brings together artist managers, self-managed artists, and music industry professionals for a full day of keynote conversations, panels, presentations, and networking opportunities designed to inform, connect, and inspire.
We’re excited to continue rolling out additional speakers for this year’s Summit, including a keynote conversation with Danny Goldberg, President of Gold Village Entertainment, which manages the careers of Steve Earle, The Waterboys, and Martha Wainwright, among others. In previous decades Goldberg managed Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Bonnie Raitt, Hole, and The Allman Brothers Band, and later led Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. Records, and Mercury Records Group. Goldberg began his career as a music journalist and publicist and is the author of six books. The conversation will explore the evolution of artist management, the changing relationship between artists and the industry, and Goldberg’s perspective on the future of the modern music manager.
The New York Summit will explore key topics including Know Your Rights: Managing Your Music Licensing Portfolio, Amplifying Impact: Driving Social Change Through Music, Music Managers: The New Power Brokers, The Business Behind the Artist: Infrastructure and the Modern Team, and more.
The Summit includes representatives from KOSIGN, Artist Growth, Linktree, SoundExchange, The MLC, Gold Village Entertainment, The Recording Academy, PPL, the rpm collective, Road Recovery, Collective Entertainment, Impact Data & Events, The Rocks Management, Future of Music Coalition, Spinach Records, and more.
