Hey there niteshift,

The Song Summit in April is going to be really cool! Fortunately, the two events are completely different with focus on different topics. The Song Summit will incorporate everything APRA does so well with artist and song performance and promotion being the main factors. The Australian Songwriters Conference which is being held in June focuses on the actual craft of songwriting with some of the main business aspects (copyright, royalties, co-writing, contracts and legals etc) included. They really are two totally different events, and I think they will compliment each other well. I'm certainly getting a great response to the ASC, which is gratifying as it means that my research was spot on... Australian songwriters are really ready for this type of event.

I'll be posting another update here and at the ASC website shortly as there are more faculty and seminar confirmations coming up.

Good to hear from you!
