Leadership Music Digital Summit 2009
In its fifth consecutive year, the 2009 Leadership Music Digital Summit in Nashville has an impressive agenda this year. If you attended Midem last week, this should be a nice follow-up conference, as there seems to be a focus this year on the value of understanding the actions and behaviors of an artist's fans. What's nice about this summit is that it's an intimate gathering (about 1,000 attendees), providing more opportunity for conversations with other music industry professionals. Not to mention, the most expensive ticket is only $179, and it's in the Music City!
According to their email, the attendance breakdown is as follows:
- 30 percent are executives and management from the majors and indies: record labels, publishers, PROs, marketing companies, etc.
- 30 percent represent artist or songwriter teams: managers, publicists, attorneys, business managers, fan club managers, outsourced marketers, etc.
- 15 percent are actual creators themselves: artists, songwriters, producers, etc.
- and 25 percent come from various media, tech companies, startup entrepreneurs, organization heads, students, academia, etc.
Band Metrics will be presenting as well, so please say hello, or email me so we can find some time to chat. I will be arriving on Sunday, March 22 and will depart in the evening on Wednesday, March 25.
