Hi [INSERT NAME],
I’d like to propose attending the Music Tectonics Conference November 4-6 in Santa Monica, CA. We’ve been to other conferences and trade shows to see where the industry is. I want to be at Music Tectonics to see where it’s going next.
Here’s what the conference offers that I need to be a part of:
[REMOVE ANY THAT DON’T APPLY]
A Keynote by Tatiana Cirisano of MIDiA Research on dangers the streaming economy faces and the pivots needed to keep it thriving.
Three days of high-powered networking with major players (and potential partners) across the music & tech ecosystem, from tech companies to investors to labels.
A Creator Fair exploring the surging music creator economy and connecting companies with music creators for brand partnerships
Sessions with music and tech industry experts forecasting coming shifts we need to be ready for.
Demos and talks on new tech tools to help labels, artists, and their teams thrive and tap new revenue streams.
A day of startup programming with investors from Yamaha Music Innovation Fund and potential label partners in Universal Music Group’s Digital Innovations team.
I think attending these sessions would bring a lot of value to the company and support my professional development: [SELECT from the full list of sessions here or scroll down for a snapshot!]
[SESSION 1]
[SESSION 2]
[SESSION 3]
As for budget, if I get my conference ticket by October 21, I’ll save the company $100 off the walk-up rate. I estimate my costs would be:
$399 conference ticket (if I buy now. After October 21, the price goes up to $499)
$ [ESTIMATED Air fare or car service] Travel to Santa Monica
$ [ESTIMATED hotel expenses] Lodging
I’d like to represent the company at Music Tectonics to build our connections and bring back insights so we can be ready for the next shifts in the industry.
Thanks for considering my proposal!
