BMI’s Delia Orjuela moderated a highly anticipated panel during the 2010 installment of the monitorLATINO Convention at the Hilton Hotel Guadalajara (México). The panel — entitled “Demo-Demolition: Ideas y Propuestas” — featured insight from industry insiders Ramón Arias, Kike Santander, Miguel Trujillo, Alejandro Garza, among others.

• Deal Structures
• Definition of the “record label” in relation to its “sister publisher” and/or third party publishers
• Income sources (present/future)
• The Digital Realm (present/future models and impact on copyright valuation)
• Trends
