SXSW 2014 Music & Media Conference | 99 MUSIC CONFERENCE ALL SESSIONS TAKE PLACE IN ROOM 10C | LEVEL 3 | AUSTIN CONVENTION CENTER SXSW DEMO LISTENING SESSIONS offer a unique oppor- tunity for Music and Platinum registrants, as well as Showcasing Artists, to get direct feedback from music professionals - the kind of people who listen to demo tapes as a part of their job. Producers, A&R representatives, venue buyers, and publicists will all sit on vari- ous demo sessions. MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSIONS offer the same sort of feedback from licensing, sync and music supervision experts. They will offer you a glimpse at the viability of licensing your music for different genres of film, TV, commercials and more. You submit your song, tell us what you think it could be used in, and you'll receive honest feedback from our panel.
