Portia Sabin on This Year’s Music Biz Conference: ‘AI Is the Big One’


Music Biz president Portia Sabin details the annual conference's focus on AI, metadata, streaming, physical and fraud.

After studying for a doctorate in anthropology and education at Columbia University in the early 2000s, she worked intermittently for the indie label Kill Rock Stars (and married its founder Slim Moon in 2004). “I made a lot of connections across the industry through them and got a good sense of what part trade associations play in the ecosystem, as well as ideas about board management,” she says. The transformation from NARM to Music Biz occurred before you took the helm; and while the conference still has a big legacy physical business presence, overall the meeting’s scope is much larger.
