Musicians depend on technology now more than at any other time in history. Mostly, artists care about two things: can they get on the platform, and will it make life easier? Our four unique presenters will answer these two questions and also describe what goes into creating a truly music-friendly service. Consider it an insider’s view of how code becomes gold. Hear about Facebook’s music initiatives, how Nielsen Entertainment is evolving its offerings, YouTube’s vision for music and video and CASH Music’s artist-centric, open-source tools for artists. A reaction panel will follow the presentations and will discuss what was seen and heard.
