Measure of Music

I may run a virtual conference but sometimes we like to hang IRL... Last night, Nick Maiale & I co-hosted a NO EGO Party for Measure of Music & jump.global in London. Wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to meet so many people for the first time. Just good vibes, great chat, and a fun excuse to hang out with people in the music industry that don't suck. Oh and if you missed out on the invite, it means you're not registered for Measure of Music 2025 yet (what are you waiting for?) -- https://lnkd.in/etA86vAN

Excited to launch YEAR FIVE of Measure of Music! Sign up to take part of the most fun music event you can attend without leaving your couch: https://lnkd.in/g4JXcBve Measure of Music is a virtual three-day weekend program to show the impact & importance of data across the music industry and to give current music execs, music industry hopefuls and industry career changers a crash course (and a finished project!) in music and data in collaboration with some of the most influential people and companies driving the democratization of music data around the world. We've also opened the call for speakers (those from underrepresented groups or little public speaking experience strongly encouraged to apply): https://lnkd.in/dXKRFvMM Big thank you to our sponsors Chartmetric, Songkick, jump.global & Jobs by ROSTR for joining us again this year!

Five years ago I came up with an idea to just put together a 'music data weekend' and created a form with 8 questions to see if anyone would be interested. When I created that little form, I didn't forsee 1000 people being interested in the first year, I didn't know that it would turn into the 7000+ strong community with almost $100K raised and hundreds of participants, mentors, judges, startups, artists, companies, and just generally great people all involved. With people from 90+ countries and speakers, hackathon participants, and even attendees all being majority-minority in gender and race, over these past 5 years I've done a tiny part in helping the music industry look like what the world looks like. Over these past 5 years, I've heard from so many companies, execs and artists about the opportunities they've gotten & given because of Measure of Music. Having a tiny hand in that success never stops being one of the best feelings in the world. ☺️ So with that being said, I'm thrilled to announce that YEAR FIVE of Measure of Music is now open for registrations: https://lnkd.in/etA86vAN If you'd like to get even more involved, the call for speakers has also opened up: https://lnkd.in/egMhC55s (those from underrepresented background and little speaking experience are strongly encouraged to apply!). Thank you to Songkick, Chartmetric, jump.global & Jobs by ROSTR for continuously being along for this ride. Your support is always immensely appreciated. If you'd like to discuss being the change you want to see in music, drop me a line. We're looking for 2025's sponsors and even have special rates for startups of all sizes.
