Panel discussions and presentations will cover topics including sync opportunities on emerging tech platforms, engaging with the US sync market, new opportunities for music in gaming and VR, and using music classifications ethically. High-level masterclasses from experts will also be presented on sync deal negotiation and clearances.

Listening sessions will give attendees a chance to get direct feedback on their music and how it is suited for sync opportunities direct from the decision-making music supervisors themselves. Ticketholders wishing to take part can submit their tracks to the experts from today here.

SYNC AWARDS

Following their successful introduction last year, two informal sync awards will be presented at the end of the event to shine a spotlight on the use of independent music in the sync and brand landscape, ‘Independent Sync of the Year’ and ‘Music Supervisor of the Year’. Submissions are open now, free for all ticketholders here.

Finally, all AIM Sync ticketholders will be given a free copy of AIM’s regularly updated Sync Guide, an industry sync bible which provides readers with essential insider knowledge on making the most of modern sync licensing opportunities.
