Simplifying Music Licensing for Municipal Facilities

Simplifying Music Licensing for Municipal Facilities

Webinar/Workshop

December 18, 2025

online

Music licensing can feel overwhelming, especially for small municipalities and community spaces that operate on limited budgets and staff resources.

On Thursday December 18 at 10:00 a.m. join us for the webinar Simplifying Music Licensing for Municipal Facilities. This webinar, presented by Entandem Licensing and the Town of Pense, will break down the essentials in a clear and approachable way. Attendees will learn about the different types of licenses available, the consequences of not obtaining proper licensing, and how agreements compare in terms of cost and administrative ease.

Using the example of a small Town Hall, the session will show how agreements can provide predictability without increasing expenses. It will also clarify the distinction between SOCAN and Re:Sound, explain why dancing impacts fees, and outline what exemptions might apply to certain facilities. The goal is to provide reassurance, practical guidance, and a path toward simpler, fairer licensing practices for municipalities of all sizes.
