Description
Spotting talent is not enough: you need to know how to nurture it, build a career for the talent and support them over the long term. Long overlooked, the talent manager is a strategic partner, at the crossroads of artistic vision, economic development and human relations. Working alongside them, other professionals help to shape career paths, open up opportunities and create the conditions for their success.
The roles involved in supporting creators are evolving: social media, AI, more autonomous artists, the rise of the creator economy… The rules are being rewritten and the boundaries between music, film, content creation and sport are becoming increasingly blurred. What is the role of the talent manager today, and how does it fit in with the other professionals who support creators? How can talent be nurtured without stifling its potential, how can artistic ambitions be reconciled with economic realities, and how can the conditions for a sustainable career be created? By bringing together the perspectives of professionals from different fields, this round-table discussion explores developments in management and the professions surrounding talent, as well as new ways of building and developing careers.
