"D.C. Policy Day 2010 will bring these issues into focus through informed presentations and panel discussions. A live webcast, available on this page, will bring the conversation to a global audience of artists, academics, industry professionals, journalists, music fans and more.

"Topics to be covered include the hotly debated Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), the recent Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger, efforts to preserve an open internet, and the health insurance landscape for musicians following the passage of historic health care legislation. Policy Day 2010 will also examine how the creative industries are faring under current Washington leadership as we head into a new election cycle.
