FMC co-founder and Technologies Director Brian Zisk is busy gearing up for the next SanFranMusicTech Summit, which takes place at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco on May 18. SFMT brings together the best and brightest developers in the music/technology space, along with the artists, entrepreneurial business people, press, investors, service providers, and organizations who work with them at the convergence of culture and commerce.
Expect a wide variety of luminary entrepreneurs, developers, musicians, press, investors etc, from the Bay Area and around the world. Speakers include FMC’s Jean Cook and Kristin Thomson, Tim Westergren of Pandora, Zahavah Levine of YouTube, Dean Hudson of Sub Pop Records, and FMC advisory board members Josh Wattles (entertainment and copyright lawyer) and Jim Griffin (Choruss/Onehouse). And that’s just to name a few.
Panel topics range from “Monetization” to “Recording Studios of the Future,” and the event also offers CLE Credits and sessions geared to developers. There’s also a dinner gathering the night before, and — everyone’s favorite — a post-Summit cocktail party.
Brian says this will likely be the only SFMT Summit in 2009, so you definitely won’t want to miss it. Prices go up on April 20th, and again at the end of April, but for the FMC faithful, Brian is offering a discount code “fmc” which will bring the ticket price down 20 percent. He looks very much forward to seeing some of you there!
