First Topics announced!

October 8th, 2010

Next week we will reveal the rest of the topics.
Here are the first two: Brian Whitman, Tim Heineke and Erwin Blom.

Brian Whitman
The future music platform
Brian will talk about “the music platform” — the soon-to-be world of music providers all competing to serve you streams & downloads and how more than ever good experiences, UIs, apps and intelligence are going to be more important than the company selling you your subscription. And that it won’t take huge companies to make those experiences but rather small startups that have quick access to new technology.

Tim Heineke and Erwin Blom
A conversation between Tim Heineke and Erwin Blom
Erwin Blom (the Crowds) and Tim Heineke (Shuffler) are old friends and during this talk they will discuss past experiences. Both of them are skilled in setting up new online music solutions over the years. For instance Erwin stood at the cradle of VPRO’s 3voor12, one of the first music-streaming sites to exist in the Netherlands. And Tim has run multiple startups of which Shuffler is the youngest and it’s hot! This talk will give various insights into innovative entrepreneurship in
the online world of music.
