Virtual Music Conference è la prima conferenza mondiale per la musica dance interamente online.

Ideata dalla sinergia tra l’etichetta inglese Toolroom (attiva dal 2003 e tra le maggiori per la musica House) e la piattaforma Label Worx (servizi per etichette indipendenti come Distribution, Promo, Royalty Accounting, Demo Solutions, Mastering & Website Design), Virtual Music Conference è una combinazione di webinar e case study in streaming programmata per il 4 Giugno 2020, in cui gli esperti del settore affronteranno e analizzeranno la situazione attuale nel mondo della musica dance.

“Get real solutions to real problems” – “Expand Your Network” – “Support the scene”
Sono questi i claim principali della conferenza, che si pone come obiettivi il supporto, l’espansione e nuove soluzioni per il network dell’industria musicale.

Tutti i profitti derivanti dalla vendita dei biglietti, in early bird fino a Sabato 23 Maggio a 15 sterline saranno donati a enti di beneficenza a sostegno dell’industria musicale durante la pandemia Coronavirus. Il biglietto darà accesso a una borsa digitale con elementi esclusivi e codici sconto dei partner della conferenza.

Espandi la tua rete professionale partecipando a Q&A in conferenza live! Tutte le sessioni saranno registrate e disponibili online per la visualizzazione a vostro piacimento poco dopo la fine della conferenza.
