Noorderslag conference presents extensive Interactive program
Eurosonic Noorderslag presents a complete two day interactive program with leading speakers and companies: the Interactive program.

The music industry is under constant influence of the digitalisation of society. Offline sales decline. There are however revolutionary developments in the field of streaming music services, social media and an explosive increase in the use of mobile internet. Eurosonic Noorderslag closely follows these developments and this is why there’s more space for interactive subjects than ever before by means of the special Interactive program.
Keynote speakers, amongst others Shawn O’Keefe (SxSW) and Ralph Simon (Mobile Entertainment Forum), reveal during the Interactive Program what to expect in the interactive field in the following years. In addition panels will discuss the impact of these developments. Representatives of amongst others Youtube, LastFM and Topspin will be present during the Interactive program. Also new and promising internet companies, including Topspin, Soundcloud and Mobile Roadie, will present their services to the music industry. These companies will also host the Music Tech Meetup Party, which will take place on Thursday the 12th of January.
The program will be concluded with the presentation of the Interactive Awards.
