Mulholland will deliver a keynote and she will be joined for a panel discussion by experts in the international push to address the Value Gap, including IFPI chief executive Frances Moore and Anne-Marie Pecaroro, Founding Partner of A Turquoise.

The IAEL Main Seminar: Finding The Value In The Gap
Last year we examined the positive effect of technology: supporting a return to industry growth and value creation. This year, we extend that focus to the so-called “Value Gap”, looking beyond the “Safe Harbour” debate at what other factors might contribute to the distance between rights owners’/artists’ expectations and reality when it comes to income generation in the new paradigm.
