I remember last year´s Slush event in Helsinki back then I
had the pleasure to meet Andreas Liffgarden and Rasheed
Richmond top tech and music influence's, we had a brief conversation last
year and we all came to the conclusion that it was only a matter of time in
which Tech and Music eventually would collide to create...Magic... it seems
that it might be happening soon at Slush
2016 a two-day music and technology conference in Helsinki.
Slush Helsinki 2016 welcomes 1,500 music and tech
influences to Helsinki, and most importantly, encourages honest discussion of
building the future of the music industry together. Slush wants to help
entrepreneurs in the music industry to bridge the gap between tech, music and
entrepreneurship. “Technology both interests and frightens music people, yet
many find that there are opportunities embedded in it. Since we have had
requests from both music and tech influencers for this type of a catered
program, it is easy, and not to mention relevant, to bring the discussion to
Slush,” says Nicolas Dolenc, President and Executive Producer at
Slush.Slush Music, brings together startups, innovative
technologies, new platforms and plenty of entrepreneurial artists.
“Entrepreneurs of the music industry are the center of the
event. Slush Music aims to be a place where you can discuss these things
together, find the best parts of both music and tech worlds and maybe discover
common ways to reach the future.”
Slush Music is a two-day music and technology conference, on
Nov 30–Dec 1 in Helsinki. Day 1 at Cable Factory offers Slush
Music attendees an exclusive platform to discuss the most striking topics in
the music industry, including direct investment in music, block chain
technology, tracking music ownership and live vs. VR streaming. On Day
2, the Slush Music crowd will blend in with the rest of Slush attendees at
the Exhibition and Convention Center of Helsinki, and they will find five stages
filled with tech experts sparking a dialogue on the future, and up to
15,000 people to connect with.

year, Slush has always been characterized by a unique energy and
enthusiasm, and Slush Music will not be an exception. The revolutionary event
will be a music festival without any musical showcases – the creativity, desire
to succeed and entrepreneurial aspects will sing for themselves, turning the
event into a phenomenon every music industry professional should make sure to
track. Make sure you attend this year's Event and I might find you there. You can register for the Event here: slush.org/music
