The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) continues the tradition of delivering a top-notch series focused on issues facing the modern music business during the annual Mondo.NYC global business summit and showcase music festival, which runs October 10-13 at Arlo Williamsburg, previously known as The Williamsburg Hotel, in Brooklyn, NY.

“RIAA Presents…” curates an afternoon of programming that reflects the current industry landscape with conversations from a broad group of speakers. From the Grand Ballroom on Wednesday, October 11, the sessions will kick off with the perennial “Everything You Need to Know About Music Policy in One Hour.” RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier will lead a crash course in the latest industry news from Capitol Hill alongside those on the frontlines: Emily Chapuis, Deputy General Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office; Joshua P. Friedlander, SVP Research & Economics, RIAA; Josh Hurvitz, Head of Advocacy, A2IM & Partner, NVG; and Tyler Grimm, Chief Counsel for Policy & Strategy, U.S. House of Representatives, Judiciary Committee.

“It’s hard to believe we’re in our eighth year of partnering with Mondo.NYC to demystify the music business and help build a more innovative, creative, and robust music ecosystem,” said Glazier. “We are excited to bring together this slate of acclaimed experts for frank conversations and insights on best practices, trends, and developments in the last year while also looking into the future.”

“Diversifying the Stage” will follow as Noelle Scaggs, songwriter and co-lead singer of Fitz & the Tantrums and founder of the organization Diversify the Stage, sits down with Ra Joy, Chief of Staff, National Endowment for the Arts, for a discussion about investment and opportunities in live music and touring for historically marginalized and underrepresented artists and communities.

From increasing the visibility of all artists, RIAA will then turn to the question of how humans and technology can responsibly co-exist with “The End of Reality: AI and the Future of Music.” Variety’s Executive Editor, Music, Jem Aswad will moderate a discussion between the Human Artistry Campaign’s Moiya McTier; Jonathan Taplin, author of The End of Reality and Director Emeritus, Annenberg Innovation Lab, USC; and Jessy Wilson, Grammy-nominated songwriter and recording artist.

RIAA Presents… will culminate with a “Fireside Chat” between Glazier and GoDigital Media Group Founder & CEO Jason Peterson, who has been recognized as one of the “Top 50 Indie,” “Top 40 under 40,” and “Top Latin” Power Players in music by Billboard; “Top 40 under 40” in home entertainment by Media Play News; and as one of the “Top 30 entrepreneurs under 30” by the Los Angeles Business Journal. He formed the GoDigital Media Group in 2006 to address the convergence of media and technology, and the multi-national company now owns nine operating businesses across three verticals in media IP rights management: music, video, and brands. Peterson and Glazier will discuss market developments, AI innovation, protecting creativity going forward, and much more. A reception hosted by RIAA and GoDigital will wrap these branded festivities for 2023.

“The RIAA Presents has been a cornerstone of our programming since we began in 2016,” said Joanne Abbot Green, Founder, Managing Director, and Executive Producer of Mondo.NYC. “Mitch and the RIAA team continue to bring the Mondo.NYC audience of executives and entrepreneurs insightful panels that speak to critical interests and issues while empowering them in their work with artists, songwriters, and more.”
