This week we bring you a short episode introducing the AMP Music Summit, a virtual music industry conference we're creating in collaboration with Simon Rust Lamb and Seth Combs featuring thought leaders from all areas of the music industry as well as finance, technology, HR, business culture, and more. The event is Wednesday, May 6th and registration is FREE at www.ampmusicsummit.com. Talks will be archived and available afterwards. Simon is a live music veteran and was formerly COO and General Counsel of Insomniac Events. He negotiated Insomniac's Live Nation partnership, and shepherded the largest dance music festival in the world, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). He also co-promoted our LIVE episode with Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks. Seth is a two-time client of Rebel Industries. Co-founding SOL REPUBLIC, he helped bring incredible sound to the masses. As CMO of NEXT Music, he is bringing music to life through a mobile music app with over 34.1 million music fans, and launching Sessions, a live-streaming platform for virtual concerts. The three of us talk briefly about the upcoming summit, our motivation for putting in the effort, what we're hoping comes out of it, and some of the talks we're most excited to see.
