The idea is to bring together various

Topics could include: -license, distribution or export:
what is the best solution? -dealing territory by territory,
or dealing globally? -the role of internet distribution?
-how can an artist or a label be better promoted within
each market? More than a debate, the idea would be
to be very concrete by exchanging experiences and
providing tips to the audience.
