Careers
Speaking at the launch at the Copyright Organisation's headquarters at Jerningham Avenue, Belmont, Inniss said the symposium was part of COTT's drive "to make songwriters aware of what they can get, what their rights are and what career possibilities they have." The two days of intensive discussions and lectures, he said, would help songwriters in the region recognise that their talent can lead to a viable career, and set a framework for the development of the entertainment industry. "We wanted to know how best we could serve our members, how we could get the interest of the talented youth of our nation, to show them how they could make music a profitable business and help them develop new careers."
