The Future Music Forum (FMF) is returning to the city for its seventh edition this month. The event is Europe’s favourite boutique business-to-business music conference, and for its second year it’s collaborating with the world’s leading music and media events organizer, Sync Summit.
This will be Sync Summit’s only visit to Europe this year, and as such, the speaking programme and conference attendance for the joint event is of the highest calibre and exceeds industry standards.
Future Music Forum:
The keynote programme is the place to keep informed and abreast of the up-coming trends, and this year’s agenda is right on the bleeding edge, offering thought-leadership from some the industry’s key movers and shakers on the issues that will shape the future of the music industry.
Expect inspired discussion and debate on the challenges and the opportunities of the European Market; Making money from music recordings; How to win at streaming in an emerging market; Social video – the new (M)TV; The future of virtual reality in music; and The Blockchain, to name but a few of the topics covered extensively during the conference.
One of the event’s speakers closing the Tuesday session is Brian Message, a partner in a music management company Courtyard Management, home to artists such as Radiohead, PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, and co-founder of ATC.
Other highlights include words and thoughts by decision-makers from Ticketscript, Music Xray, The Orchard, Native Instruments, Locodia, BBC Radio 6, Syrenne Sync, Pop-Up Music, Grabyo, Saavn, Patchworks, Disrupt, Activision Blizzard, MIDiA, Sony Computer Entertainment, Berklee College of Music, Cone Magazine, BSkyB, Kickstarter and Shazam.
“You are encouraged to engage and mingle with music futurists, label owners, artist managers, entrepreneurs and analysts during the break periods and at the after work events,” said Niall Doorley, FMF’s curator and organiser.
“The FMF is a professional yet relaxed environment, and the three day event takes place from 19th -21st September at the Old Estrella Damm factory,” he added.
