More speakers added to Dubai Sound City
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 October 2009
The organisers of next month’s Dubai Sound City have announced a load more speakers who will be taking part in what is set to be one of the most international music business events I’ve ever come across. Two keynotes have been added to the agenda, which will come from Kimitaka Kato from Universal Japan (on Thursday) and the always insightful Brian Message, ATC Management boss and Radiohead manager of course (on Friday).
Confirming the new additions, Dubai Sound City’s Festival Director David Pichilingi told CMU: “We’re thrilled to announce two of the biggest music industry heavyweights as keynote speakers at Dubai Sound City. Universal Japan’s Kimitaka Kato and ATC Management/Polyphonic’s Brian Message have unparalleled knowledge in their respective fields and we’re extremely excited that they will be sharing the secrets of their trades with over 300 delegates at the inaugural conference. With 30 industry specialists speaking at eight panels split across two days, Dubai Sound City Conference is going to be a fantastic opportunity to mix with the most highest level industry movers and shakers from all over the world”.
Also set to speak at the convention this year are ReverbNation’s Lou Plaia, Grooveshark’s Sam Tarantin, Nokia’s Jake Larsen, Activision’s Tim Riley and Australian promoter extraordinaire Michael Chugg. More at www.dubaisoundcity.com
