The conference will be the last under current President/Music Supervisor Thomas Golubic, who is stepping down. “This is our 5th 'State of Music in Media' conference and after successful residencies at Berklee College of Music and USC we are bringing our conference to the Los Angeles Film School campus for a full day and evening of educational and music programming,” he said in a statement. “Our programming will include audio visual histories on the uses of music in advertising, movie trailers, and film. For the first year we will have a fully operational dub stage featuring lectures on mix prep and Dub stage dynamics.”
