Music & Bits: An exploration of music & technology

As you know, The fourth Next Web Conference will be held on April 15-17 in Amsterdam. To complement the main days (16th & 17th of April) of keynotes and booth, the first day there will be three smaller events- Mobile Dev Camp, Music & Bits and The Current Web.
The 15th of April, Music & Bits will collaborate with Mobile Dev Camp to offer you a glance of what’s happening in the world of music & technology. While there are two different ‘tracks of interest’ in the same venue (Spaces), we will have different programs. We’ll start at 10:00h and finish the day with some drinks together at 16:30h.
We are very proud to have the following speakers on stage:
