Writer-director Judd Apatow will participate in a panel discussion at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Film and TV Music Conference. The panel will look at the role music has played in Apatow’s work, from the popular cult TV show Freaks and Geeks, which he created, to such projects as the box-office hit Bridesmaids and HBO’s Girls to his upcoming film This Is 40, which revisits the characters from the 2007 comedy Knocked Up. Apatow will be joined by composer Mike Andrews and music supervisor Manish Raval as well as legendary British musician Graham Parker.

Demi Lovato, a judge on this season's 'X Factor,' will take part in an X Factor Q&A with Epic Records chairman/CEO L.A. Reid at this year's Billboard/The Hollywood Reporter Film & TV Music Conference, presented by First Entertainment Credit Union. Lovato joined 'X Factor' this year along with Britney Spears, replacing previous judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. Her latest album, 2009's Here We Go Again (Hollywood Records), debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. She'll join Reid, who was previously confirmed for a keynote Q&A at the conference. Reid, winner of three Grammy Awards, will discuss his career as a producer, songwriter and label executive at Epic, where he has been building the label concurrently with his stint on Fox's 'X Factor.'

Danny Elfman will receive the Maestro Award at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter Film and TV Music Conference on Oct. 25 at the W Hotel in Hollywood. Originally a New Wave rock star with the seminal band Oingo Boingo, Elfman was one of the first rock composers to make a successful leap to the world of film music. THR film critic Todd McCarthy will give the award and host a Q&A with Elfman and Hitchcock director Sacha Gervasi. Elfman is the ideal composer for Hitchcock, since one of his chief influences is Hitchcock's frequent composer Bernard Herrmann, whose score for Psycho Elfman "interpreted" for Van Sant's remake. The Q&A will address not only Hitchcock but Elfman's other award-contender movies, David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook, Gus Van Sant's Promised Land, and Burton's Frankenweenie. Previous recipients of the Maestro Award include Alan Menken, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and Marvin Hamlisch.
