Do You Love Music and Technology? Come to the SF MusicTech Summit!
This week (tomorrow) is the San Francisco Music Tech conference which is a must attend event for anyone that loves music and/or technology. The event brings together entrepreneurs, developers, musicians, investors, and service providers for a full day to talk about how the music industry is evolving and how technology is playing a role in that evolution. The speaker lineup this year is also quite impressive, here are just a few of the folks that are going to be in attendance: Stephan Jenkins, Third Eye Blind 3eb! Tom Conrad – Chief Technical Officer, Pandora Zahavah Levine – Chief Counsel, YouTube Tim Quirk – VP of Music Programming, Real Audio / Rhapsody Dave Ulmer – Sr. Director, Multimedia, Motorola Jeff Yasuda – CEO & Founder, blip.fm Jean Cook – Interim Executive Director, Future of Music Coalition Michael Masnick – Founder, TechDirt As you can see it’s going to be quite an eclectic event with a lot of interesting discussions. I’m really interested in the back story behind a lot of the companies such as Pandora and Blip.fm so hopefully I’ll get time to chat with both Tom and Jeff. We can see that the music business is greatly evolving. With the evolution of sites such as Youtube, Blip.fm, Pandora, and Imeem; the indy artists now have a chance at stardom. We are also seeing a huge difference in how musicians are interacting with their fans, many of them are actively engaging on sites such as twitter interacting and building relationships with people that love their music. None of these things were possible even a few years ago. Legal is also a hot topic in the music business as more and more people are starting to download their music for free on the web. These are just a few of the interesting topics that are sure to be covered.
