EVENT INFO
What is the ASCAP Experience?
The ASCAP Experience is a music creator conference designed to help you amp up your creativity, polish your music-making skills and better understand how the money flows in the music business. It features practical workshops and in-depth interviews, provocative discussions, networking opportunities, chances to get your music heard and more.
When and where does the ASCAP Experience take place?
The ASCAP Experience is live and in person on June 21, 2023 at the AVALON Hollywood in sunny Los Angeles, CA.
Who can attend the ASCAP Experience?
The ASCAP Experience is open to music creators of all kinds — songwriters, composers, producers and performers — and at every stage of their careers. Our in-person event in LA is open exclusively to ASCAP members, and members of performing rights organizations from other countries who license their music through ASCAP in the US.
Anyone can watch some of our favorite sessions and performances from past ASCAP Experiences, on demand and free of charge, at www.ascapexperience.com/on-demand.
Why is it only open to ASCAP members and foreign affiliates?
For our first in-person event after three years of virtual programming, we wanted to do something special for our ASCAP family in a more intimate venue than usual.
Not an ASCAP member yet? No worries! ASCAP membership is totally free to join for writers, or anyone joining as a writer & publisher at the same time. Join today and we’ll see you in LA on June 21.
How much does it cost?
ASCAP Experience is $35 to attend (plus Eventbrite service fees). Best bang for your buck in the music business!

Is there an opportunity to get feedback on my music?
There sure is! At our Get Heard: Live Song Feedback session, pre-selected attendees will get live song feedback from a panel of experts. Submissions for Live Song Feedback closed on June 12 – but there's still plenty to learn by watching the pros evaluate music live, and sharing tips with the audience.
Can I ask the panelists a question?
Select sessions do include a Q&A portion at the panelists’ discretion.
Will this year’s panels be streamed?
The ASCAP Experience 2023 is designed as an in-person event and we want to make it something special for our attendees. We will not be live-streaming any of the sessions, but we plan to make select sessions available for on-demand viewing, after the event.
Where do I park?
Per Avalon Hollywood’s website: “AVALON does not have designated on-site parking. However, you can reserve nearby parking in advance or on demand through our official parking partner, Pavemint. Download Pavemint on the App Store or Google Play store, or search for parking online by date and time.”
I bought a ticket and now I can’t go. What’s your refund/cancellation policy?
You may request a full refund (minus Eventbrite’s service fees) up to one week ahead of the event. After June 14, tickets will be non-refundable. To request a refund, log into Eventbrite, go to Tickets, find your order and select “Request a refund.”
I have a disability and will need to be accompanied by someone who is not an ASCAP member. Can I still attend?
Absolutely! Send us an email at experience@ascap.com and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Can I buy a ticket for someone else?
Yes, but only if that person is an ASCAP member, or a member of a foreign PRO who licenses their music through ASCAP in the US. If you are purchasing on behalf of an ASCAP member, our registration form requires the last three digits of their private member ID number, so it’s preferred that they fill out the form themselves, even if you are paying. Email us at experience@ascap.com with any questions.
