30Jun

Music Connected, held in association with Music2Text, is a 1-day event focused on the digital world and independent music companies, tightly targeted and without unnecessary frills, that delivers a fantastic return on time and money.

Previous Music Connected events have seen over 400 attendees from the digital and independent music communities, including iTunes, Spotify, Napster, Sound Cloud, Orange, Nokia, Merlin, Shazam, eMusic, We7 and Myspace and labels Beggars/XL, Cooking Vinyl, Ninja Tune, PIAS, Warp, Domino, Ministry of Sound, Full Time Hobby, Brownswood Recordings, One Little Indian, Union Square, World Circuit and Cherry Red amongst others.

This year the event returns to historic Glaziers Hall in London Bridge. The format will be based around three main spaces, one – the ‘Digital Market Place’ – with space for 15 stands to be hosted by digital companies. Go round the various stands and meet the industry’s key digital music companies, find out more about their services, and maybe even do some deals…

The second space, the ‘Conference Zone’, will offer a programme of seminars, workshops and presentations on digital music issues, including market research presentations, case studies of digital marketing campaigns and lively panel discussions on current issues.

The final room offers space for informal meeting and chatting, as well as a bar and the day’s networking lunch, which is included in the event’s ticket price.

Full details of the event’s conference programme will be announced soon, but for now, we are pleased to announce:
