2010 Music Matters Hong Kong | Exporting Asia "When Not If?"

(HONG KONG) : Music Matters 2010 will take place over a jam-packed three day programme including face2face sessions, high-powered discussions, keynote presentations and in-depth analysis along with our fantastic and, often late night, networking events including Asian music showcases, parties, lunches and sector-themed breakfasts.

In 2010 Music Matters culminates in the inaugural "Music Matters Live" - Hong Kong's newest music festival - featuring some of the very best independent bands from around the world.

Music Matters 2009 surpassed all expectations and, going by our testimonials, clearly delivered a tremendous story for Asia's music industry. But we're not without our challenges and Music Matters 2010 will set out to unearth new business opportunities presented as the world's economies continue to move into positive territory and we invite our attendees to, once again, Plug into Asia.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Including sessions with some of Asia's and the world's most innovative and successful companies and individuals, the Music Matters programme examines the full music entertainment ecosystem in Asia. With focused panels and hard-hitting keynotes, Music Matters addresses the most important issues, challenges and opportunities that face the industry today, and promises to deliver the controversy and dynamism we do every year.



DAY ONE (MAY 26th THU 17:30): MEGA PANEL #1 -- EXPORTING ASIA "WHEN NOT IF?"

Most predict that economies of the East will continue to boom and dominate in the years to come.  As China and other Asian markets continue to increase their global influence, we will discuss the reality of Asian artists following the same path to success in Western markets.  It's not IF Asian artists will ever become popular in the West, it's WHEN.
