 The UK's biggest digital music networking event returns to London on 21st April 2009!

Music Connected is a 1-day event focused on the digital world and independent music companies, tightly targeted and without unnecessary frills, that delivers a fantastic return on time and money. This year the event takes place as part of AIM's London Connected project, which is helping hundreds of London music businesses to make the most of digital opportunities and is supported by £650,000 from the London Development Agency (LDA).

Previous Music Connected events have seen over 400 attendees from the digital and independent music communities, including iTunes, Napster, Orange, Nokia, eMusic, We7 and Myspace and labels Beggars/XL, Cooking Vinyl, Ninja Tune, Domino and Cherry Red amongst others.


About the Event...

This year the event returns to historic Glaziers Hall in London Bridge. The format will be based around three main spaces, one – the ‘Digital Market Place’ - with space for around 16 stands to be hosted by digital companies. Go round the various stands and meet the industry's key digital music companies, find out more about their services, and maybe even do some deals...

The second space, the ‘Conference Zone’, will offer a programme of seminars, workshops and presentations on digital music issues, including market research presentations, case studies of digital marketing campaigns and lively panel discussions on current issues.

The final room offers space for informal meeting and chatting, as well as a bar and the day’s networking lunch, which is included in the event’s ticket price.
