Input & Discussion: „New Kids on the Blockchain“

The blockchain technology is said to be a game changer, a technology with the potential to considerably affect different parts of life and economy. While the hype about the digital currency bitcoin, that is also based on the blockchain technology, seems to have calmed down - this seems to have been just a small start of a much bigger movement that is currently forming all over the world in different thematic areas.

So how does the decentralized database technology blockchain actually work? And what is its potential and relevance for the music business in particular?

Our guest, Steffen Holly of Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technologies IDMT, argues that the blockchain technology does not immediately give a solution to pressing issues such as the metadata confusion of the music industry. However it does provide answers to questions of innovative models to rights management and payments of creative works such as music (and other digitally published works).

Networking, Drinks & Tunes:

After the public interview and discussion, there will be a reception with drinks, sponsored by BMC, and tunes handpicked by a2n_soundsystem aka Andrea Goetzke and Eric Eitel. We will all move together from Kühlhaus to the lounge area for the reception, so that nobody gets lost.
