Join Langston’s Entertainment & Sports Law Committee as we bring together well knowledgeable legal and creative pillars within the music industry to have a conversation about the music business today. During this panel, we will discuss how artists are using AI in the creative process, what they are doing to protect their name, voice, likeness, and original work as the use of AI increases in music, and how music lawyers are assisting them with all of the above.

As AI is becoming a more prominent player in the music industry, we are coming together to discuss how AI is changing the way lawyers advocate for their clients, whether they represent a label, singer, producer, or writer within the music industry. Don't miss this night of informative discussions and networking as we celebrate Black Music Month and kick off the 2026 BET Awards Weekend! ​
