| 2013-09-29 | In LA – NARIP Executive Dog Walk
Come for a short hike with the Hounds of NARIP  on Sunday, September 29, 2013 starting at Tree People in Beverly Hills, CA DETAILS Join us on Sunday, September 29th at 8:00 a.m. for NARIP’s next Executive Dog Walk, named after Haribo The Executive Dog (pictured above). Obviously, bring your dog! And if you don’t have a dog, come anyway! Dogs are more than beloved companions and givers of comfort, they are extraordinary networking tools. In our experience here at NARIP, more deals and friendships have been formed through dog walks and dog-related activities than virtually any other, especially in Los Angeles. Runyon Canyon. for example, is a popular spot for Angelenos and a hotbed for creative types, film makers, producers, industry execs and the occasional displaced sub-celebrities… most of whom are there to walk their dogs. Dogs are brilliant ice-breakers, so let’s get them out of the house more and onto the trail where they belong! We will meet at Tree People – located slightly west of the intersection of Mulholland Drive and Coldwater Canyon Drive in Studio City / Beverly Hills (see map) and walk down to Fryman Canyon, then back up again. This walk is of light to medium difficulty, and takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. For those less inclined to hike back up hill, you can arrange to be met in the Fryman Canyon parking lot (on Laurel Canyon Boulevard) or meet us afterward. After the hike we will meet at Western Bagel in Studio City to celebrate our vigorous exercise with a 10,000-calorie meal. Ha! Just kidding. Western Bagel has an outdoor area where we can bring our dogs. If you can’t join us on the hike, meet us there at 9:30 a.m. NARIP’s Executive Dog Walk is free but please RSVP so we know how many people to expect. You need not be a NARIP member (or own a dog) to join us, all are welcome. Carpooling is encouraged! WHEN Sunday, September 29th, 2013 8:00 a.m. Meet at Tree People parking lot, hike begins 9:15 a.m. Hike ends 9:30 a.m. Breakfast at Western Bagel WHERE Tree People 12601 Mulholland Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 AFTER HIKE Western Bagel 12930 Ventura Boulevard Studio City, CA 91604 Tel: (818) 906-7121 MESSAGE FROM NARIP If you ever wish to get a pet, please adopt, don’t shop.

| 2013-09-18 | In LA – Digital Music RIghts Deal Mock Negotiation
You are invited to NARIP’s Digital Music Rights Deal Mock Negotiation  with Andy Koski & Dean Serwin Wednesday, September 18, 2013 in Los Angeles Especially important are the distinctions between digital-only deals (where in many cases companies may represent themselves as labels but are in fact only modified music libraries) vs. actual record deals. Both have advantages. Advantages of each type of deal will be discussed at this NARIP program, and our experts will explain what you need to know. They will then face off in a live mock negotiation of key deal points and contractual issues that affect a rights holder’s options and income. Get the inside track on major deal points, what they mean and what leverage you have to negotiate the best possible deal. Also to be discussed: the pros and cons of some of the major digital music services. Most people think they can just hand a negotiation to a lawyer, and leave it at that. But as a professional, you need to be aware of the process and deal points, too, and what the short- and long-term implications to your artists’ careers may be. Most importantly, you will see HOW a digital music license deal is negotiated and be involved in the process. Get educated about the art of deal-making! You need not be a NARIP member to attend.

Call 818-769-7007 or email mary@narip.com THANK YOU Special thanks to Olaf “Gemse” Kretschmar ABOUT THE SPEAKER Tess Taylor, President National Association of Record Industry Professionals Tess Taylor is president of the National Association of Record Industry Professionals, the biggest music business network in the world. She is creator of NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions which have yielded 50+ music placements for participants and sold out in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris and London. Ms. Taylor is also President of the LA Music Network and was instrumental in launching the Mowglis, a pop band now on a major US tour. Selected to perform at the 2011 LAMN Jam Music Contest, the Mowglis won the grand prize and one talent judge signed the band to a management deal. They then got a talent agent, signed with Universal / Photo Finish Records, have been featured on prime-time network TV and are now getting radio airplay on primary market stations across the US. One of the nation’s leading authorities on careers in the music and record industries, Ms. Taylor has connected countless people to jobs and opportunities through her work in the US and abroad, cultivated collaborations for over two decades, helped launch hundreds of projects and several companies. If you’ve read Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point then you may recognize her as a “super-connector.” Says Hollywood Today Publisher & Editor Jeffrey Jolson-Colburn, “Tess Taylor is one of the great resources of the music business. She’s a walking job fair. She has amazing insights into where the business is going and combines that savvy with a Rolodex the size of an SUV.” Music Connection magazine named Ms. Taylor in its list of “50 Innovators, Iconoclasts, Groundbreakers & Guiding Lights of 2008” (Dec 2008). Dubbed “International Music Ambassador” by music supervisor P.J. Bloom (Glee, CSI: Miami) and the “Job Whisperer” by Loy Connelly, Ms. Taylor works with many international groups to connect their members to opportunities in Los Angeles and throughout the U.S. She has consulted leading businesses such as InsideSessions (a joint venture between the Universal Music Group and Penguin Putnam, Inc.), The Walt Disney Company, BMG Entertainment (formerly Sony BMG), Concord Records and MySpace.com in its start-up phase. Recent keynotes include Popkomm (Berlin), the Drucker Career Conference (LA), the Trigger Creative Conference (Sweden), the University of Vienna’s Institute für Popularmusik (Austria), NAMM 2011 (LA), the CA Music Industry Summit, Berlin Music Week and others. Deeply annoyed by people who think music should be free, Ms. Taylor is a vigorous defender of intellectual property rights and debated Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow on “free music” at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth (2006) and was invited for a rematch at Ohio University (2008). She won both times. She has lectured at institutions across the nation and around the world ranging from the Harvard Business School to local colleges and universities. From 1988 to 1993 Ms. Taylor was employed at MCA Records, Inc., last serving as Associate Director of Marketing. A classically trained pianist, she studied music at the University of Vienna and is a Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Redlands’ Johnston College where she received her BA degree in music, German and literature. She loves traveling the world, nibbling dark chocolates and drinks lots of tea. She also loves fine fountain pens, anything written or recorded by Glenn Gould or Pete Townshend, gripping crime novels and hiking with her handsome English cocker spaniel Haribo. Ms. Taylor encourages people to adopt pets and not buy them. SOURCES FOR MORE INFO Berlin Music Week NARIP Get connected. Stay connected.

Part of the new music industry, IHM offers a music service once unavailable to the masses of artists who still sell music in today’s market. Backed by PolyPlat Records, the label he co-owns, and powered by Blue Mountain Technologies, his software development company, IHM helps independent artists advance their careers by enabling them to report live venue sales to SoundScan, a service once only available to signed artists. This makes technology available, affordable and easy to use for every one of the 300,000+ independent artists currently touring and performing in the US and a way to leverage the only industry-accepted sales metric, SoundScan, to get on the Billboard Charts. IHM has serviced 100+ artists since inception, with more than a dozen of them charting on SoundScan and Billboard, and with one even hitting number one on the coveted Heatseekers album charts. Bram’s music industry experience started nearly two decades ago as the drummer for Soup, a regional touring act. After its disbandment, Bram started SoundArt Management to help other independent artists (Pepper’s Ghost, Dr. Dan, Fashion Bomb) make the jump from indie to signed. SoundArt also focused on tour management heading the Virgin College Mega Tour for four years in a row, until he met Atlanta indie rockers State of Man with whom he soon partnered to form Indiehitmaker. Bram’s expertise in technology brought IHM to life. All while touring, playing 150+ shows a year, Bram was the marketing & creative director, UI designer and usability expert for CompeteNet Inc., a technology company servicing clients such as IBM, HP/Compaq, Northrop Grumman, DOD (U.S. Army), Xerox, Unisys, Sun, EDS, and Scottrade with Web-based competitive intelligence, simulation training and distance learning solutions. He left CompeteNet and started Blue Mountain Technologies with the company’s CTO and lead developer. Today they provide cutting edge, cross platform technology solutions for software development across the Web, cloud and mobile devices. A frequent speaker a industry conferences in Atlanta and around the US, Bram is now focused on live music production and helping artists get the most out of their live show. He also helps artists break into Chinese and Far East touring markets as brand ambassadors to the countless music fans in the Orient. Look for Bram’s live music production workshop to be featured at several upcoming music conferences around the country this year.

| 2013-07-30 | In LA – Modern A&R: What You Need To Succeed (and how to make the RIGHT record)
Modern A&R: What You Need To Succeed And How To Make The RIGHT Record  on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 (7:00 p.m.) at LAMA College for Music Professionals in Pasadena, CA What IS A&R and why does it matter to your success? A&R is not only critical to the opportunities created for new talent, industry growth and the creation of new jobs, it is THE most critical decision in the record industry. Every investment a record company makes is triggered, directly or indirectly, by an A&R decision. In this NARIP program, A&R and artist development experts Mark Mazzetti and Michael Carey (who is also a producer) will discuss how they have helped to create and sustain careers for superstar and indie artists (including Sting, Janet Jackson, Dishwalla, Aaron Neville, John Mayer, Robbie Williams, Will Smith, Rascal Flatts and others), guiding their careers to hit singles, platinum sales and global success. No matter how successful, an artist will ALWAYS benefit from the objective, informed opinions of A&R executives who help craft rough cuts into smash hits. TO BE DISCUSSED
BONUS Our speakers have agreed to listen and provide feedback live at our event to a few tracks submitted by attendees. These limited slots (one song per person) are available on a first-come, first-served basis and NARIP members will be given priority.
