AIM’s annual sync licensing master class is to return to London on 24th February 2014 in association with SynchTank, with a host of top industry figures from the worlds of TV, film, advertising and games lined up to speak.
The evening will open with a special keynote interview with SuperMusicVision’s Thomas Golubić, music supervisor on hit shows including Breaking Bad, The Killing, Six Feet Under and The Walking Dead.

He will be interviewed by Music Week Editor Tim Ingham.
A panel discussion on synchronisation licensing will follow the keynote, exploring how to get independent music on TV, adverts, film and video games. Debate will cover the following areas:
- The process involved in placing a track
- What makes a track ‘sync-able’?
- What can labels do to improve their chance of achieving sync licences for their artists?
- What types of deal can be done? What kind of figures are involved?
- How is the sync licensing business changing?
