Daily Opening & Featured Conversation with Janelle Lopez Genzink [KEYNOTE]
Join all summit attendees for an inspiring start to the morning.
Janelle Lopez Genzink is a music manager and founder of Volara, a management company built around a simple belief: artists do their best work when they have the right people, perspective, and support around them. Known for her thoughtful, deeply personal approach to management, Janelle is passionate about helping artists build careers that feel authentic to who they are—not simply careers that look successful from the outside. Over the course of her career, she has worked with artists including New Kids on the Block and Fifth Harmony, and today, alongside the Volara team, helps guide the careers of Sabrina Carpenter, MARINA, and HAIM. At Volara, she is equally focused on creating a collaborative home for managers who share those values—providing the infrastructure, resources, and extended team that allow managers to give their artists the highest level of care and attention, while maintaining the independence and individuality that make great management personal. For Janelle, the goal is simple: build enduring careers, exceptional teams, and the kind of infrastructure that allows great artists to think bigger.

Creative Conviction™: Leading with Clarity, Not Consensus [WORKSHOP]
The music industry doesn't have a talent problem. It has a trust problem. After more than 20 years discovering talent, developing artists, leading creative teams, and coaching music executives, Kate has seen firsthand that the greatest threat to extraordinary careers isn't a lack of ability—it's the constant noise of opinions, comparison, and self-doubt that disconnects people from their own instincts. In this interactive workshop, she'll introduce Creative Conviction™, a practical framework for strengthening self-trust, making bold decisions under uncertainty, and knowing when to seek feedback versus when to trust your own vision. Attendees will leave with actionable tools they can immediately apply to their own leadership while also learning how to cultivate greater confidence, ownership, and creative conviction in the artists, creatives, and teams they support. Because the future of our industry depends on people who have the courage to trust their taste, lead with conviction, and create from a place of clarity instead of consensus.

The Songs We Carry [ACTIVITY]
Leadership isn’t only about how we communicate with others. It’s also shaped by how we communicate with ourselves, especially in moments of pressure, uncertainty, and change. This session helps participants identify who they are when they’re leading at their best and build a personal reminder they can return to when they get pulled away from that version of themselves.
The session explores music as more than something we listen to. Music is an input we repeat, internalize, attach emotion to, and carry with us. Through leadership reflection, grounding, music, and songwriting, participants will examine their own internal communication and identify what they want to remember when pressure, uncertainty, or emotion affects how they show up.

Stop Being Polite: Turning Friction Into Creative Advantage [WORKSHOP]
Most teams deal with polite gridlock—meetings where everyone nods along, but work stalls the second people leave the room. The real problem isn't bad intentions; it's that leaders often treat disagreement like a threat to manage instead of useful energy to guide. This interactive workshop shows how to separate arguments about the work from personal conflicts. Through live exercises, leaders will learn how to break bad communication habits, clarify team roles, and set up clear meeting routines. You’ll leave with a practical playbook to turn team friction into creative progress—and make hard conversations productive on Monday morning.

RnBreathe: Million-Dollar Capacity [ACTIVITY]
Learn how to allocate your attention for greater leverage, clearer decisions, and bigger impact.
At the executive level, your value is no longer measured by how much you can personally carry. It’s measured by how effectively you direct your attention, judgment, and leadership toward the decisions that matter most.
In a business defined by constant inputs — artists, managers, teams, data, deadlines, revenue pressure, and rapid change — high-performing leaders can easily spend their most valuable attention solving problems that don’t require their highest level of involvement.
In this interactive 75-minute leadership experience, former music executive Mo Hiromoto combines strategic discussion with RnBreathe, her R&B-driven breathwork practice, to interrupt reactive patterns, create distance from the noise, and help participants reassess where their attention creates the greatest organizational and professional value.
Participants will leave with a practical framework for distinguishing what requires a response, what can be delegated or automated, what requires executive judgment, and where their full leadership capacity can create disproportionate impact.

The Empathy Bridge: A Creator-to-Executive Conversation (presented by ASCAP)
To truly evolve the music business and meet the culture where it's at, we must bring every voice to the table — and actively listen to one another. To kick off our afternoon, we’ll have a powerful unfiltered conversation between industry leader Nick Lehman and a music creator, something rarely done at the Summit. This candid chat is designed to deepen empathy between the creative and commercial sides of music.
What does it really mean to be a music creator in 2026? What emotional toll does the hustle take, and how can the industry better support the people at the heart of the music we love? And vice versa? Together, we’ll explore the highs and lows of the creative journey — the pressure, the passion, the vulnerability — and why wellness must be part of the plan.
This session invites everyone to pause, reflect, and connect — because building a more compassionate, sustainable music industry starts with understanding each other.

Your Energy Pattern Is Your Leadership Edge
The music industry moves in cycles, phases of rapid acceleration where demands are high and teams are navigating constant change, followed by quieter phases where momentum slows and priorities shift.
Leading well through both requires more than experience. It requires understanding how your own energy patterns shape the way you think, respond, communicate, and lead.
When the pace changes, so do you and knowing your pattern is what keeps you clear instead of reactive. This session helps music industry leaders identify their energy pattern and use it as a real leadership edge, in every season of the business.
