Together with Tim Heineke (from Twones), Roel van der Ven and the Mobile DevCamp team of Amsterdam I organized a conference about music & technology. We were part of the ‘pre-conference’ day of The Next Web conference, an annually held event that aims to ‘gather the international Internet scene gathers for inspiration, networking and fun’. At Music & Bits (hosted at Spaces, Amsterdam) we invited three keynote speakers, Steve Jang (former imeem), Alexander Ljung (Soundcloud) and Lucas Gonze (google him…). We also had some several start-up sessions with various young guns who caused a lot of Ooooh’s and Aaaws’. Throughout the day, more than 160 people enjoyed the talks and the conversations about new ways to experience music, copyright issues and start-ups who are trying to change the world of the music industry. Check out Anne Helmond’s coverage on TheNextWeb blog of the things she liked at Music & Bits.
Since it was a great succes, we are planning another Music & Bits, so stay tuned! Comments on how the event should look like (or should not look like) are very welcome…!
