Generator is proud to announce an extremely high calibre selection of music industry luminaries for its much lauded Music Futures conference.  Music Futures is a progressive, forward thinking conference that has quickly established itself as a key date in the entertainment industry conference calendar and offers vital perspectives in the ever changing landscape of the music sector. 

Speaking at the event will be Radio 1’s Head of Music, George Ergatoudis who will be heading up a lively discussion looking into music streaming, curation and whether or not the playlist will kill off the traditional album format. George has been in the news lately with his views on the topic and Music Futures will provide a platform for other key industry figures to share their opinions. 

Also joining us on the day will be John Dyer, Director of Domino Recordings, Chris Price, Head of Music at BT, Paul Hitchman, Managing Director at Kobalt Label Services, James Foley from Deezer, broadcaster Jen Long, Sentric CEO Chris Meehan, Karim Fanous of Music Ally and Kendal Calling co-founder Andy Smith.

Brimming full of innovative panels and debates with those who change and shape the music  industry and those who have pioneered the technology and shaped the future of discovery, delivery and consumption, Music Futures peerless convention is a must attend for anyone interested in the business of music.
