Programming will feature:

Visionary presentations from leaders in the music-tech space.
Special conversations with leading musicians, producers and policymakers.
Data, data, data: what we're learning about consumer behavior, and how musicians, managers, labels and venues use data to streamline careers and increase revenue.
Tools and tips for the smart musician: new artist checklists, case studies about direct-to-fan experiments, sage wisdom from expert lawyers, managers and PR folks.
Copyright and culture in the digital age: how musicians and songwriters are approaching the "termination of transfer" process, the complex nature of sampling, the challenges of applying Western copyright norms in international cultural communities.
The future of music distribution: will we access everything in the cloud? Will ISPs be the new gatekeepers? Leading experts will discuss and debate.
...plus movie screenings, networking parties, a Pho dinner and a rock show.
