Welcome to the BPI Los Angeles Sync-Licensing Trade mission page on the BPI website. For those reading who don’t know, every year along with the UK Trade & Investment office in London & LA we organise a three day event in the very centre of the music entertainment capital of the world which involves taking a very disparate bunch of UK independent music companies to learn about the increasingly important sync licensing market meet and network with some of the most important music supervisors and placement executives in Los Angeles. The mission takes place w/c 19th April at The Zune building in West Hollywood……average daytime temperatures a very pleasant 73 degrees.
There’s a small piece in the BPI blog site on the mission and arrangements so far.
We have a record number of UK companies coming on this year’s mission, listed below are details. To keep up to date visit the BPI Blog page.
The Los Angeles Sync Licensing Mission
The Los Angeles Sync Licensing Mission is an unrivalled opportunity to come face to face with some of America’s leading film and TV music supervisors. The mission includes presentations, Q&A sessions and where possible short meetings with some of the top music supervisors working in Los Angeles, plus a number of independent agencies involved in sync licensing across film, TV, video games, adverts, trailers and more.
Past speakers have included major supervisors from NBC Universal TV, Fox, CBS paramount TV, Konami Digital Entertainment, Microsoft/X Box, The Ant Farm and US music licensing agencies Hit the Ground, Hunnypot, The Chop Shop, Firestarter, Heavy Hitters & mOcean amongst others.
There is also a networking reception at the British Consulate residency to which mission delegates are invited.
The mission to Los Angeles is neatly sandwiched between the world famous Coachella Music Festival and the Musexpo event.
