Talks

A fast-moving session exploring what the music industry could look like in 2036—and what that means for creators and companies today. Grounded in research-backed context, the conversation will examine how a music business increasingly shaped by data, AI tools, rights infrastructure, and sophisticated fan ecosystems has been evolving for years. Panelists will each pitch a bold thesis for the next decade, from AI-native catalogs and programmable live experiences to direct-to-fan operating systems, royalty unbundling, and global micro-markets, before turning back to the present to ask what professionals should be building, learning, and watching now. Attendees will vote on the most compelling ideas and the leading indicators to watch in the years ahead.
