Peeling Back the Layers Between Artist and Fan

Thursday, March 17
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 15
531 E 4th St

Streaming is one thing, but the other great disruption that digital has brought to the artist/fan relationship is the peeling back of the layers between artist and fan, bringing them closer and more engaged with each other than they ever have been before.

From PledgeMusic, which sees itself as a marketing platform as much as a fundraising platform; to Spotify's BandPage sales integration, playlists and notifications; to Apple Music's Connect platform – distribution platforms are becoming points of engagement, and the data behind them a vital currency. This panel will unpick these layers, identify how they work, and what lies ahead.
