Just another reminder that, on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 23, we will be throwing EconMusic, a half-day conference in London discussing the emerging economics of the digital music business. Sign-up and more details coming soon, but speakers on board so far include…

—Martin Stiksel, co-founder, Last.fm
—David Courtier-Dutton, CEO, Slicethepie
—David Hyman, CEO, Mog
—Mark Mulligan, VP and research director, JupiterResearch

We’ll resist the “dinosaurs” comparison, but EconMusic will be held at the Natural History Museum - an impressive venue in Kensington, right in the heart of the district occupied by many of the major labels. We will be debating ad funding, “free music”, subscriptions, licensing, mobile, DRM, direct distribution and more.

Just a diary marker for now, so save the date. Contact me for programming ideas or advertising AT contentnext DOT com for sponsorship opportunities.
