Sync Summit

Los Angeles, Feb. 3-6 

Founded in 2012, Sync Summit LA is tightly focused on linking artists with infrastructure to license their music for entertainment media. Movies, TV, video games, ads, streaming services, and even apps are represented at Sync Summit. In addition to casual networking opportunities, showcases and competitions give musicians and other creatives a chance to make their mark. There will also be a songwriting camp and workshops on metadata and music supervision. 

One thing that sets Sync Summit apart is the organizers’ commitment to helping attendees make lasting connections. Everyone who attends will receive a contact list of all speakers and fellow attendees, and they’ll have a chance to submit music to any speaker at the event. Over 100 speakers will be sharing their knowledge in panels, keynotes, and demos. 

MUSEXPO 

Burbank, March 16-19

Dubbed the “United Nations of Music,” MUSEXPO brings together execs from global music brands. Founded by music journalist Sat Bisla in 2005, it has become one of the most influential conferences in entertainment. The event attracts professionals from all segments of the music industry, but its Burbank location makes it an ideal opportunity for music sync professionals and artists hoping to license their songs for media. 

Several industry leaders are set to speak in 2025, including:

Sync Con 

New York City, Aug. 15-16

The East Coast's answer to the Sync Summit, Sync Con brings together musicians and decision makers in movies, television, games, and advertising. Organizers put an emphasis on cultivating a “relaxed, non-judgmental” environment where aspiring musicians and media producers can learn together and connect authentically. 

One advantage of hosting the conference in New York is being closer to the nerve center of national advertising, Madison Avenue. Music is vital to getting audiences excited for any product – for examples, just check out our playlist to promote upcoming events.
