The International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) has invited music publishers and digital services to discuss the next steps for the ISWC music identifier on 9th November 2022.

“Everyone in the music ecosystem agrees that getting the identifier system to work better will put more money into the pockets of creators and those who represent them,” said CISAC.

Following the recent modernisation of ISWC by the confederation to make it faster, more accurate and more efficient, CISAC is asking stakeholders to join the conversation to discuss the next steps for the identifier to get the ISWC adopted across the value chain.

Establish the ISWC as an accurate identifier

An expert panel has been put together by CISAC and publisher organisations in the Societies Publishers Forum (SPF), with representatives from societies, publishers and digital platforms to “discuss the progress being made to establish the ISWC as an accurate and reliable identifier that is used across all parts of the music industry.”

The session will be hosted at SACEM’s offices in Paris and livestreamed on Wednesday 9th November, 16.00 – 17.30 (CET). Speakers include: Sylvain Piat, Director of Business, CISAC; Cynthia Lipskier, Deputy Director of Operations – Documentation, SACEM; Matt Phipps-Taylor, Chief Information Officer, peermusic; James Way, Head of Copyright Data Policy, ICE; Tom Rettig, VP of Product, Gracenote Content Solutions; Magali Clapier, Publishing Operations Strategy, Spotify, with Declan Rudden, Managing Director, SaorServices as Moderator.
