The Great Escape 2011
TGE Previews: The digital landscape
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 21 April 2011
Every day in CMU this month we are previewing a different session taking place at this year’s CMU-programmed Great Escape convention, which takes place from 12-14 May at the Brighton Dome.
Another new strand to the convention this year are the insight sessions, short focused presentations on a specific topic, outlining the lay of the land and making predictions about the future. On Friday morning Duncan Geere, a Senior Staff Writer at Wired.co.uk, will provide a digital insights session. He’ll be reviewing the various different kinds of digital music services in operation, or in development, and will give his take on which of these have real longevity. Is there really a market for digital lockers? Will Spotify turn its freemium users into paying subscribers when the free service gets cut back? And could we ever really launch a licensed P2P network? Duncan will be giving his insights and opinions ahead of a panel debate on rival digital music business models, more on which next week.
This panel takes place on the Friday of the convention. To get into it, plus to attend all the other great panels, sessions, parties and gigs taking place at The Great Escape this year, get your delegates pass from escapegreat.com.
