The Creator’s Room is a series of intimate conversations that take you behind the scenes of artistic work. Open to learners of all ages, these discussions explore the many pathways to success in the arts as a performer, creator or administrator. 

Each panel features up to four industry leaders, with topics of conversation that range from performing rights and licensing to monetizing talent, marketing, union membership and higher education. Panelists share their creative journeys, offer practical advice and answer questions from the audience.
