Each day focuses on a different theme and features exclusive input from industry figures and panels. Let’s take a look at our Summer Series itinerary:
It Begins with a Song

Together, our panel will provide an in-depth analysis of what each department contributes to the songwriting process. You will learn about the development and timeline: how a song can begin as a demo or idea and build into a commercially successful soundtrack.
