Information and FAQ in preparation of the a2n #conference


The a2n #conference on 18 September takes a concentrated look at the central issues concerning the music industry in the digital age. Questions surrounding the issue of creating added values and profits are as important as issues concerning social values, cultural and artistic creativity.
 

We aim to host pragmatic and forward looking discussions and share knowledge and experience across genres and including related creative fields such as  film, games and fashion.

What can we learn from existing successful models of music production fincaning? Do challenges created by the spread of new media require structural changes in the industry and what would these look like? How can collecting societies keep working in the interest of the artists and at the same time provide future oriented models for rights management and distribution? What responsibility does the listener or consumer? What new models are there for cooperation between artists and other players? What is the role of labels, media and social networks, as well as festivals, concert halls, clubs and DJs in creating and distributing revenue? Also, the role of Berlin as a music hub will be discussed.

The one-day program of curated a2n # conference will bring these issues and questions to the point. International and local speakers, thinkers and actors will present their visions and functioning business models, together with the condensed results of the a2n # camp, communicated through the appointed rapporteurs.

When and where will the #conference held?

On 18 September 2009, 10:00 to 18:00 clock, in the RADIALSYSTEM V | Holzmarktstr. 33 |10243 Berlin.
