OpenMusicMedia Toronto #3: Location, Location, Location

OpenMusicMedia Toronto is a chance to get together on a semi-regular basis for drinks & conversation around the past, present and future intersection of music, media and digitalculture.

A Toronto version of the popular & influential OpenMusicMedia UK meetups started by @haynes_dave & @jonaswoost in London, UK.

For our 3rd installment we are pleased that Jonas Woost (fresh from a recent move to Canada) will be joining us from Vancouver where he will kick off the discussion about music and location based services and the role these services will have on the music industry, in particular supporting local music. He will share with us examples of services like Foursquare, Songkick.com Soundtrckr.com and Last.fm which could be used by artists, advertisers and fans for social/music discovery, advertising and commerce purposes.

From here, the discussion is wide open and we encourage you to share with us from your perspective as a fan, artist, label, radio station or technologist what you think of these services, which one's you like and the type of features that are important to you that would enhance your enjoyment of music. We also can't forget to consider the role and influence that radio can still have when focused on the local music scene.

The evening will start very casually with everyone enjoying food/drinks and connecting with each other before we dive into the group discussion at 6:30pm.

Note the venue change (C'est What on Front St. E.) from our previous events.

Looking forward to continuing the conversation!
