Session 5: The future, Jim, but not as we know it...

Moderated by Music Ally

For EUR 10 per month you can now have unlimited on demand access to all of the world’s music anywhere you like. What happens next? Is this the end of days for music services? Or are there more frontiers to explore? What do people really want…..?

American “super angel”investor Ron Conway’s claimed in November that the next stage of innovation in digital music will see Apple, Google, Amazon, Pandora and Spotify become the main established music access platforms on top of which new services will be built.
At the same time, hack and API culture is really starting to take off with major labels like EMI providing developer access to catalogue via the Echo Nest or global movements like Music Hack Day galvanising innovation. Have we reached ‘the end of music’? Or is it just the beginning?

Panelists:
Daniel Johanson – Chief Executive Officer, TrendMaze
David Adams – Business Development & Content Relations, SoundCloud
Tristan Jehan – Chief techinical Officer, Echo Nest

After the seminar: meet the panellists networking session
