ASCAP EXPO 2011


The ASCAP "I Create Music" EXPO is the first and only national conference dedicated to songwriting and composing. Organized annually at the Renaissance hotel in Hollywood, ASCAP EXPO features celebrity Q&A's, master classes, songwriting and composing workshops, publisher and business panels, One-on-One sessions, DIY career building workshops, showcases and performances, song feedback panels, technology demos as well as music industry exhibitors.

Bogfires attended ASCP EXPO on its final day, Sat April 30th, and caught the Copyright Issues Facing Music Creators-panel, Tracy McKnight on Confessions of a Sync-o-holic: Adventures and Misadventures in Music Supervision and Master Session with Pharrell Williams, whose stories and views were really inspirational. The icing on the cake was the Writers Jam featuring John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls), Dan Wilson, Chris Stapleton and Ingrid Michaelson performing their favorite songs and sharing the fascinating stories behind the creation of their best-loved and chart-topping songs.

This year ASCAP will offer all of the EXPO panels for online streaming. More info here.
