Educators Summit PROGRAM – Chicago – 2017 March 31 - April 1 | Embassy Suites by Hilton – Chicago Downtown 2 MEIEA Welcome to the 2017 Music anD Entertainment InDustry EDucators Association Summit! I’m excited to welcome you to Chicago, the home of Deep Dish Pizza, the Second City Comedy ensemble and great music, especially the Blues. This is my last MEIEA Summit as your President and I know we’ve planned a terrific three days of events, speakers and valuable content you can bring back to your respective campuses. Since we are in a city so well-known for Chicago Blues, I thought it was only fitting to bring the Blues to the Summit. I’m excited to interview a long-time friend and ally, Bruce Iglauer, Founder and President of Alligator Records (although I think his title might just be “Boss”). Bruce started Alligator more than 45 years ago and his passion for the Blues is still evidenced by his unwavering support for his recording artists and their work, and his commitment that artists AND labels are paid fairly by new technology services. We will also hear from Jeff McClusky, a veteran of our industry who has been an incredibly successful radio promotion executive, which is only one of his many talents and services he provides to our industry. In addition to our keynote speakers, we have a superstar legal update panel, several other topical panels and roundtables and many great paper presentations. Last year, MEIEA started a Thursday briefing session and we will continue that innovation with a late afternoon session from our friends and sponsors at SoundExchange. I hope you can attend and learn more about their constant evolution in the digital streaming space. I look forward to meeting you all. Please feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to discuss ideas for panels, sponsors or other activities that you think MEIEA should entertain. Our commitment to our members, their professional development, their excellence in the classroom and the education of the next generation of music and entertainment industry leaders is what drives all of us at MEIEA. Please also reach out to me if you’re interested in getting more involved with MEIEA; if you have time to become a dedicated volunteer as a Board member, or wish to launch some valuable initiative that would benefit our members, or just to discuss an idea or event that might be of interest, I’d love to hear from you.

Simson President, Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association 2017 Educators Summit 3 Sponsors Special thanks to the following sponsors for their generous support of MEIEA and the 2017 Educators Summit 4 MEIEA 2017 Educators Summit 5 musicbiz.org facebook.com/MusicBizAssoc twitter.com/musicbizassoc instagram.com/musicbizassoc Academic Partnership Program $500 per college/university Calling all colleges and universities with music business, technology, or entertainment law programs, join Music Biz as an Academic Partner today and all students and faculty will have access to special membership benefts: • access to research, whitepapers and infographics; • complimentary registration to our Common Ground Webinar Series; • discounts to our annual Convention and Entertainment & Technology Law Conferences; and • eligibility to apply for scholarships through the Scholarship Foundation.
