SESSION
- We Need To Talk About Playlists
- The Future of the Music Industry
14.00 – 14.45
Playlists are the modern consumption mechanism, somewhere between mix tapes and radio. Yet playlist placements are increasingly competitive, and some playlists are lengthening to meet demand, potentially diminishing their power. Do they drive meaningful artist discovery? Or do they dilute attention across many lesser known artists? Do consumers even remember the names of artists or songs? We need to talk about playlists.
14.00 – 14.45
As is now traditional, the final panel takes on the challenging task of wrapping up the event, recapping key themes and opening our expert panel up to no-holds-barred questions from the audience. As is also traditional, there will be a drinking game to help carry us all through the last session of the two days!
