The Great Escape 2023 will kick off ten weeks today! We have now published full topic outlines for the three full-day CMU+TGE Sessions that we will present as part of the TGE Conference, setting out all the conversations that will happen on stage this year.
The CMU+TGE Sessions put the focus on three key topics, with a full day of talks, interviews, case studies and discussions about each of those topics, allowing us to dig deep and fully navigate the latest trends, developments, opportunities and challenges in the business of music.
This year’s CMU+TGE sessions are as follows…

MUSIC+EDUCATION on Wednesday 10 May
CMU and The Great Escape once again bring together music educators and the music industry to put the spotlight on the best ways to support future music talent, both on-stage and behind the scenes.
We will ask how the music industry can help deliver the new National Plan For Music Education in England, how online content and digital education platforms are changing how people learn, and how traditional educators can work alongside digital educators to deliver maximum value.
Plus, what skills are needed in the music business today, what skills will be in demand in the future, and how can education and industry ensure that young people develop the skills they need to succeed?

MUSIC+DEALS on Thursday 11 May
CMU and The Great Escape review how deals are being done in the music business today.
We will identify and dissect the deals that best help artists achieve their objectives, consider the different options artists now have when selecting and negotiating with their business partners, and look at how the evolution of consumption is informing deals around particular rights.
We will also ask what that evolution of consumption means for the music industry’s digital deals in the future – and will investigate how samples and interpolations are delivering new licensing opportunities for songwriters and music publishers.

MUSIC+CREATOR ECONOMY on Friday 12 May
CMU and The Great Escape put the spotlight on the wider creator economy.
We’ll dissect and discuss the growing number of tools, platforms and market-places being used by creators of music to write, record and iterate music, to facilitate collaborations, and to generate new income from their creative expertise. And we’ll look at what being part of the creator economy can mean for musicians – as both creators and consumers.
Plus, we’ll review the digital tools and platforms that help frontline artists – and other creators in and beyond music – to grow their fanbases and monetise the fan relationship.
