The Discoverability Summit, presented by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the National Film Board of Canada, kicks off today in Toronto. The Summit examines “Content in the Age of Abundance,” as participants discuss strategies, tools and ways to improve the discoverability of content in various fields.

Viewers can tune into the livestream in English or French, and the recording and transcripts of the event will be available in the weeks following the Summit.

Tomorrow at 10:35 AM, the Summit will discuss ‘Music and the New Accepted Normal’, with panelists:

• Amy Terrill, Executive Vice President, Music Canada
• Alan Cross, Professional Music Geek, Corus Entertainment
• Steve Kane, President, Warner Music Canada
• Paul Tuch, Director of Canadian Operations Nielsen Entertainment

The description of the panel reads: “The record label structure has drastically changed over the last 20 years. From its sole purpose of selling albums, what is the new structure and formulation of music in 2016? How are writers, artists and producers succeeding and making money through new techniques of business and placement of their music? Do streaming services actually provide a sustainable structure?”
