SESSION
- State of the Industry
- Boom & Bust? What Next For Latin Music?
16:00 – 16:45
Latin music sparked the global music industry’s attention when Despacito hit number one, but it has been interesting for a lot longer than that. How did Latin become so prominent? Can it stay an important part of popular music, or has it had its moment?
- The Future of the Music Industry
17:00 – 18:00
As is now traditional, the final panel takes on the challenging task of wrapping up the event, recapping key themes and opening our expert panel up to no-holds-barred questions from the audience. As is also traditional, there will be a drinking game to help carry us all through the last session of the two days!
