UK Music chief executive Feargal Sharkey to speak at PPA Conference

Sharkey, the former frontman for The Undertones, will be interviewed on stage by PPA chief executive Barry McIlheney, former editor of Smash Hits.

McIlheney said: "The music industry has gone through a lot of the structural changes that the magazine industry is now going through.

"It will be fascinating and I am sure very useful for PPA members to hear Feargal's views on issues such as copyright, piracy, and the migration to digital."

As part of the conference on Wednesday 4 May, PPA Consumer Media members will congregate for a session on their own ongoing issues, from postal challenges to copyright control.

Speakers include:

• Sylvia Auton, chairman and chief executive, IPC Media
• Kevin Costello, chief executive, Haymarket Media Group
• Paul Keenan, chief executive, Bauer Media
• Peter Phippen, managing director, BBC Magazines
• Arnaud de Puyfontaine, chief executive, Hearst UK / National Magazine Company
• Stevie Spring, chief executive, Future
