On Friday, January 20th, 2023, Scott Cohen will give a keynote at the ESNS Conference. Cohen is a well established name in the music industry, as he co-founded the music distribution company The Orchard (now owned by Sony) and was the first ever Chief Innovation Officer at Warner Music Group. Recently, Scott Cohen announced his departure from Warner to start a new venture around the fractionalized ownership of music royalties. While the details around this new company remain unknown for the time being, you can expect a cutting edge keynote from one of the pioneers in the music industry.
