The music industry and the creator economy are undergoing a quiet revolution. Artists no longer need a label to tour or a manager to make money. From AI-generated content to fan-powered booking platforms, technology is giving creators more tools — and more choices — than ever.
In this session, hear from artists and tech innovators who are reshaping the economics of creativity. We'll explore:
- How fan data is transforming how tours are booked and promoted
- AI as a tool for songwriting, visuals, and content creation
- Why direct-to-fan/customer monetization is the future
- The risks, opportunities, legalities and ethical questions of being a tech-powered artist
Whether you're an artist, promoter, technologist, influencer or a fan, this session offers a candid look at the new toolkit for modern creators.
