Keynote speakers
The keynote speakers were Simon Anderson, from Audio Network and Stephanie (Charlie) Farley, from the University of Edinburgh.
Our first keynote was given by Simon Anderson, who is a composer, musician and music publisher. His career in the music industry spans over 20 years, during which time he has worked at royalty collection societies PRS and MCPS, at a print music publishing house, and since 2005 for global production music library Audio Network, where he oversees the rights side of the business.
Simon completed his LLM degree at Westminster University in 2015 and was offered an Associate Fellowship of the Law School in 2017 in recognition of his ongoing contribution to the university’s free-to-access Lost In Music resource.
Simon is closely involved in music copyright education. For the past five years he has sat on the Music Publishers Association’s Education and Training Group. He lectures regularly on issues related to music and copyright both to students of law, music and media, as well as to industry professionals.
Simon gave an interactive presentation using audio and music score examples to illustrate real-life and specially prepared music copyright infringement cases where delegates get to play judge and jury.
Our second keynote was given by Stephanie (Charlie) Farley who has been working in higher education as a librarian and learning technologist for ten years, and provides support and training in the creation and use of Open Educational Resources (Open.Ed) at The University of Edinburgh. Her playful approach to digital skills and copyright education has led to many exciting opportunities, including developing a Playful Engagement strategy for the Information Services Group at The University of Edinburgh.
Passionate about the uses of technology to enhance open education, access, and information sharing, she created and runs the award winning 23 Things for Digital Knowledge programme, consults on the use of Social Media in Learning and Teaching, and runs OER Board Game Jam workshops across the university.
