Format Panel
Organizer Charles Feinn MixMatchMusic
Description The $18 billion dollar music industry includes a relative handful of famous acts and tens of millions of independent and semi-professional artists, many of whom would like to collaborate with each other and are on the lookout for an innovative new way to cultivate and engage with a solid base of music enthusiasts. This panel discussion would address the intersection of music, technology and social media and the tools that musicians want and need to collaborate with other artists, engage fans and ultimately create great new music.
