Die achten VIENNA MUSIC BUSINESS RESEARCH DAYS finden in diesem Jahr vom 12. bis zum 14. September an der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien statt. Behandelt und diskutiert wird heuer das Thema „Unchaining the Digital Music?“. Die Wiener Tage der Musikwirtschaftsforschung setzen sich zum Ziel, WissenschafterInnen aus allen Disziplinen und PraktikerInnen aus dem Musikbusiness einmal im Jahr in Wien zu versammeln, um sich über aktuelle Fragen und neueste Ergebnisse der Musikwirtschaftsforschung auszutauschen.
This year’s conference topic is “Unchaining the Digital Music?”. Digitization has brought music streaming to the centre of the music industry’s value-added network and new gatekeeping processes have been established by new and “old” players of music business.
The morning session of the the invited conference day on September 14, therefore, will focus on new gatekeeping process in the digital business with a introductory talk by Daniel Nordgård of University of Agder/Norway and a panel discussion with Sally Gross (Westminster University, London), Sarita Stewart (Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business, Belmont University Nashville/USA), Scott Cohen (The Orchard, London and New York), Jake Beaumont-Nesbitt (International Music Managers Forum, London) moderated by Daniel Nordgård.
George Musgrave of the University of Westminster in London will wrap up the panel discussion with his talk on “Control and Autonomy in the Digital Music Business” providing a model for new gatekeeping processes in the digital music industry.
In the afternoon session the keynotes by Paul Crick (Senior Managing Consultant, Digital Transformation, Media & Entertainment, IBM, Flintham/UK) and Wolfgang Senges (Strategic Consultant in Digital Media, ContentSphere, Berlin) will explain the fundamentals of blockchain technology and how it could disrupt the music industry again.
