The Great Escape returns to Brighton from 11-14 May with a packed programme of showcases taking place across the city - plus the TGE Conference for industry delegates.
At the core of the TGE Conference programme are the CMU+TGE Sessions...
The Great Escape and CMU bring together music educators, music development organisations and the music industry to discuss the best ways to nurture, support and educate young musicians, early-career music-makers and future music talent - on and off stage.
Tapping into the latest research work from CMU's Pathways Into Music Foundation, we'll look at how DIY phase artists are going about building a fanbase in 2022, and how educators can inform that process and sign-post the tools and resources now available.
Plus we'll be navigating and mapping the wider music-maker community - and the world of music education and talent development.

The Great Escape and CMU put the spotlight on all the ways data now drives success in the music business.
The data that gets artists and songwriters paid. The data that will help #fixstreaming. The data that informs music discovery. The data that powers music marketing. The data that profiles fans and fanbases. The data that sits at the heart of ticketing. The data that is powering new direct-to-fan products and opportunities.
Who creates this data? Who controls this data? And how can artists, songwriters, labels, publishers, agents, promoters, venues, artist managers and music marketeers ensure that all the data is accurate, accessible and driving that success?

The Great Escape and CMU explores the intersection between music and video.
Where are TV producers, movie studios, gaming companies, brands, online creators and social influencers sourcing their music in 2022 - what are their options, what are their requirements and what do the deals look like?
Plus what about all the video content the music industry now creates every single day? What content works? Where do you publish and push the videos? How do you influence the influencers? And how much of that content is about marketing - and when should video be a revenue generator for artists, songwriters and the wider music industry?

As well as the CMU+TGE Sessions, on Saturday 14 May CMU:DIY is curating the TGE Elevate Sessions - a day of seminars and panels aimed at those early on in their music careers - on stage or behind the scenes.
CMU's Chris Cooke will present speedy 20 minute seminars on music revenues, music copyright, music streaming, music data, record deals and the big economics of streaming debate.
Plus we'll hear from entrepreneurial artists and music industry experts galore on fanbase building, going live, releasing music, the direct-to-fan opportunity - and the role each music industry business partner plays in helping grow an artist's own business.
