WCM's Ryan Press (President, North America) will be co-hosting the camp alongside other Philly natives. When asked about the camp, he shared.

Publisher of the Year! ✨

Five years into his role, our CEO/Co-Chair, Guy Moot, chats with Billboard on how he's changed the company during his tenure — turning WCM into a fierce competitor in the publishing field with a honed A&R strategy, signing and developing culturally relevant songwriters such as RAYE, Mitski, Laufey, and Zach Bryan, and leaning into the shifting music business head-on. "There’s a focus on the individual here. Every songwriter is unique, so we meet them where they are in their careers and help them achieve their full potential. The same could be said for how we develop our team. We’ve created a culture where there’s a real, collective commitment to songwriters. Which is only possible because of each individual’s expertise." — Guy Moot, CEO/Co-Chair, WCM Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZfzMMU4 #WarnerChappellMusic #WCM #MusicPublishing
