And of course, Clive will talk about his amazing career, how he discovers unknown talent, how he climbed to the top, how he decides who to sign and who to drop, and much more. Whether you're a budding record impresario or a star-in-the-making, anyone pursuing a career in music will benefit from Clive Davis's wisdom and experience.

Clive Davis has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (at the Grammy Awards), and was the first active Record Company President to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has twice been named Humanitarian of the Year by the T.J. Martell Foundation, and in 1998, Clive Davis was bestowed a Humanitarian Award from the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR).
