The 3rd Annual Production Music Conference Showcase will be rockin at the Le Meriden Delfina hotel in Santa Monica, California on October 17th thru October 18th! The opening act will showcase with the billion-dollar box office composer Harry Gregson-Williams, a pioneer in sound design and composing such films as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Martian, and the Shrek franchise! But lets not forget the box office is not the only brilliance that Mr. Gregson-Williams (who will be the keynote speaker to kick these activities off) brings, he has also worked on a number of television scores as well as the blockbuster Metal Gear video game series in bringing that unbelievable adrenaline pumping soundscape!
“The PMA is absolutely thrilled to have Harry Gregson-Williams as our featured keynote speaker at the upcoming Production Music Conference. Mr. Gregson-Williams has distinguished himself as one of the world’s leading film score composers and we look forward to hearing his unique insights about the production music business and his successful transition into film scoring!” comments Randy Thornton, PMA Chairman.
The overall driving force for the conference is to bring the Production Music community together, educate the industry on all obtainable and executable solutions for creative music, business practices, and of course the clientele! This is a highly proactive conference that will provide the attendees with 1 on 1 meetings with a professional, hosted round table discussions with professionals, and nearby networking and meeting spaces. For the record this conference has grown to a second day in only 3 years! This is definitely a huge leap in attendees and is bringing in interest throughout the community!
