The 22nd Music & Media Finland Conference Introduces New Business and Showcasing Opportunities for International Delegates
With its 22nd edition ahead, Music & Media Finland conference is again looking to bring together over 700 representatives of music and related industries, including over 100 international delegates from all over the world. Taking place in an intimate and picturesque setting in Tampere, Finland on October 20-23, the event comprises a vast variety of networking and business opportunities, seminars, keynotes and of course, showcases.
Live music is indeed in a key role at Music & Media Finland; the delegates are treated with an abundance of high-quality showcases at the Lost in Music Festival, where around 100 hand-picked Finnish and international acts jump on stage during the three conference days. With all venues within walking distance, delegates have a chance to catch a vast number of shows on each festival day.
For the global music community, Music & Media Finland offers a unique chance to connect and enter into new business with participants from all over the world, but especially with key executives from the emerging Russian and Baltic music markets as well as the Nordic countries. "Lost in Music is indeed a great chance to showcase talent to an exquisite selection of music business people across all the sectors of the industry. Further, the conference itself provides the participants with a profound platform for networking and keeping up with the current developments in the industry. We work very hard to offer insight to the multifaceted business of music through a carefully selected line-up of panelists and keynote speakers. Each year the conference also highlights some of the greatest pioneers who have helped shape our business," tells Ms. Anu Aittoniemi, the Executive Producer at the company behind the conference.
Previous speakers and Celebrity Guests of Honour at Music & Media Finland include visionaries such as Seymour Stein (Sire Records), Barry Dickins (ITB), Terry McBride (Nettwerk Music Group), Jonathan Poneman (Sub Pop), Jonathan Forster (Spotify), Tommy Ramone (The Ramones), Tom Silverman (Tommy Boy), David Fricke (The Rolling Stone) and many more.
