THE FUTURE OF MUSIC DISTRIBUTION: PHYSICAL, DIGITAL & MOBILE

Following a truly memorable rooftop lunch experience, the next panel, which focused on THE FUTURE OF MUSIC DISTRIBUTION: PHYSICAL, DIGITAL & MOBILE, was moderated by our old friend Ajax Scott (Director, Woodshed Media) and featured a diverse panel of experts, namely Gary Chen (Chairman/CEO, Top 100/Orca Digital, China); Kevin Arnold (Founder/CEO, IODA); Richard Gottehrer (Founder/Chief Creative Officer, The Orchard); Ron Spaulding (Executive VP/GM, Fontana Distribution) and Sami Valkonen (Head of Global Business Affairs, Nokia).

The discussion started off with opening statements from each panelist highlighting their own individual situations. They continued with the gentlemen taking a closer look at each of the main music distribution platforms--physical, digital and mobile.

Lastly, before giving the mic to the audience for questions, Ajax asked the panelists to put on their wizard's hats and look into what they saw as the future of the business in five years time!

This was one of the most entertaining and informative panels so far...but we're only just past the halfway point!
