The world of music rights and royalties is often complex. In this free seminar, you'll get an overview of what SOCAN does as Canada's largest music rights organization and the role it plays within the larger music industry and ecosystem. SOCAN represents the rights of music creators and publishers for the composition (music and lyrics), so if you're a songwriter, composer, or producer this seminar is for you. Learn the difference between performing and reproduction rights, and how to receive the money you've rightfully earned for your hard work.

When you're a member of SOCAN, you enjoy many benefits, including access to helpful resources and funding opportunities, and support from SOCAN's Creative and Membership teams. As a member of SOCAN, you are joining a talented network of songwriters, producers, composers, and music publishers, like Drake, The Weeknd, Jessie Reyez, Michael Bublé and more than 175,000 creators and professionals just like you, working to build a career with your extraordinary creative craft.
