Supplemented in Singapore by a 4-night music festival and a creative Academy for artists, the conference gives a 360° vision of the music industry in Asia.
Thousands of attendees rocked Digital & Music Matters in Singapore 20-24 May 2013, including almost 10,000 at the Music Matters Live with HP festival over three nights and over 2,500 participants at the YouTube FanFest with HP and Digital & Music Matters conferences. At the conference we had 140 speakers, over 120 journalists, 30+ sponsors, 80+ media and industry association partners from close to 400 companies from 30 countries. We also had 175 artists and students in attendance.
What we saw last night was incredible. The level of fervor was unbelievable.
Analyse, sketch, challenge, dismiss, discern, understand, realize.
