Last speaker confirmed: Last.fm

October 5th, 2009

Last but not least, we’re happy to announce another speaker at the second edition of Music & Bits! Proud to confirm another influential company, who certainly still has a big role in defining the online music landscape. Last.fm turns seven years old this month. Matthew Ogle, Head of Web Product, will give his insight on how Last.fm has grown and evolved despite the challenges faced by online music services in 2009. He’ll touch on lessons learnt along the way, what’s happening at London HQ, and give a sneak preview of some future features and applications. Designers and developers, bring your scrobbling love; Matt will be joined in Amsterdam by Hannah Donovan (Creative Director), and Jonty Wareing (API Developer).

Rumour has it that Hannah will team up with Anthony from Hypemachine to give us some insight on how design plays a far bigger role in the development of successful music platforms.

Stay tuned, more on this later!
