We can really get behind Local Music Vibe, an organization that helps foster and connect local music communities. CEO Dave Champine loves San Francisco and the Summit for that very reason: it helps build thriving communities for music and technology. We’ll see you there, Dave!

Matt Lombardi is the co-founder and CEO of Hear It Local, a booking platform that’s really shaking things up. The company makes it easier than ever for fans to find, book, and fund (even crowdfund!) independent musicians for house concerts and events. Hear It Local is just one of the innovative businesses heading to the Summit on October 9th!

Kudos from Jeff Price, TuneCore, Ian Rogers from Topspin, Michael Doernberg of ReverbNation, J Sider of BandPage and Tess Taylor of NARIP!

Stephen White, President of Gracenote, will see you there. (And we’re looking forward to partying with him at our official afterparty at Yoshi’s.) Stephen has helped Gracenote become the digital entertainment leader it is today, and we’re thrilled that he’ll be a speaker at the Summit!

James Taylor of Artistworks.com is looking forward to the next SF MusicTech Summit too… He and the ArtistWorks team are at the forefront of ed-tech, helping people learn about the field of music in effective and innovative ways. We’ll see him there!
