The future of Merchandising and Fan Engagement
Friday, October 23rd
Speakers: Aly Gillani (bandcamp) // Alex Drewniak // Maru Asmellash (The New Originals) // Sean Hill (UTA)
A revolution is coming in how fans show their allegiance and what they wear to show that tribal identity. While it is clear that personalisation and unique designs will form the core of the next wave of merchandise products, the future of artist/fan relationships seems to be one of increasing intimacy and personalisation, powered by highly reactive and flexible manufacturing processes. How close can an artist get to his or her fans in order to leverage the enormous possibilities offered by such levels of customisation, and what does that mean to record labels and their artists, the merchandising industry and streaming platforms?

Game on – Video Game Music in 2020 and Beyond
Friday, October 23rd
Speakers: Ted Kocker (Playstation) // Raphaella Lima (EA Games) // Eric Kalver (Activision) // Jake Versluijs (Position Music) // Emily Weber (Position Music)
Presented by Buma Music in Motion, the platform for the innovative use of music in games, film, television and advertising
Music and video games have been best friends since the classic 8-bit chip soundtracks of the 1980s, through the needle drop playlists of Grand Theft Auto in the late 90s, and into the present day, where gaming end-users can do anything from programming their own playlists in games such as Roblox, through to listening to original adaptive scores recorded by orchestras in studios that even large feature films can no longer afford to use.
What opportunities exist, both for AAA+ games in terms of placement of music as well as scoring, through to the growing crowd-funded independent gaming sector? Do you need to learn how to use games engines such as Unity to be a games composer? Is production music used in the sector at all and which gaming music supervisors are curating the huge sports games playlists? And where does score end and sound design begin? This panel will unpack the landscape of music and games through the pandemic and into 2021, and lay out pathways that emerging rights holders and composers can follow to gain a seat at visual media’s most dynamic, fast-moving and exciting sector.

In a keynote talk live from the Felix Meritis, Jason Fulton, founder of people-centric insights and strategy agency This Memento, will be tackling the biggest issue of 2020 and beyond: how to cope with, and how best to adapt to, the post-pandemic business world.

The Innovative Force behind Triller
Friday, October 23rd
Speakers: Joe Lyske (MXX, GB)
With nearly 300 million downloads, Triller is currently one of the fastest growing entertainment platforms. Closing in on well-known names such as Pinterest and Twitter in terms of users, this US-based social video community has become a serious online force. How does the popular mobile application stand out in the hugely competitive social media environment? And what is the unique value proposition that has proven so successful amongst its dynamic target audience?
During an exclusive conversation with Dr. Joe Lyske, the CTO of Triller, we will take a deep dive into the thrilling world of social media. After competing in our ‘Companies to Watch’ competition with his former company MXX back in 2018, a lot has changed for Dr. Joe Lyske. We’re curious about what happened in these two years. But most of all, we’re curious about how he sees the future.
