I'm heading to SXSW tomorrow. The hundreds of announcements, panels and events along with 2,000+ bands and countless meetings can be a bit overwhelming. But here are some things that I know that I'm attending; and I hope to meet you at some of them:


PANELS:

Next Stage: The Reality of Cloud Streaming Services – Cloud Streaming has arrived. Bringing successful and  viable services to the U.S. market is only a matter of time. The  question now becomes, how will this play out as a stream of revenue for  rights holders? Join Jeff Price of TuneCore, Bruce Houghton of Hypebot  and George Howard, Professor at Loyola University, at Next Stage for a  detailed discussion on the six rights every musician has to their work,  and how they can be employed best in the cloud streaming service model.

You Need A Web Empire – Bandzoogle's David Dufresne hosts Aaron Ray of the Collective, Emily   White of Whitesmith Entertainment and Trevor Guy of Last Gang Records   and yours truly. Cut  through the hype and social media lingo, find what's really proven to  work, and what artists should focus on when planning and building an  online presence.
