As streaming platforms and social networks become increasingly protective of user data, innovative artist teams are building their own first-party data infrastructures. This panel brings together leading artist managers and music executives who are pioneering new approaches to fan data ownership and activation. Join our panelists as they share real-world examples and practical insights on creating direct channels to fans; building sustainable data collection frameworks; and leveraging owned information to drive revenue and growth for artists and teams of all sizes.
