Music Industry Innovates and Morphs: Radio, PODs, Blogs, P2P, Ad Revenue Concepts, Cable/TV Innovation
In the never-ending odyssey that is called the Music Industry, the road to future just keeps on getting longer and more complex. Perhaps it is because music is such an integral and creative personal experience, giving rise to an unlimited number of creative and disruptive forces, but as each year arrives, so too do about fifty new ways to deliver, listen, experience and pay for the music. In this session, we bring together a cross-section of creative players, from the traditional music label and P2P players, to companies with entirely new ways to reach the consumer offering new ways to listen and experience music all with completely new revenue models. We welcome you and all look forward to a fascinating session.
