Ever Wanted To Present At One Of The Music Industry's Key Events?
from the here's-your-chance dept
In 2009, I attended Midem for the first time. It’s an event that the music industry has put on for decades. Over the past few years, they’ve really embraced the idea that the music industry needs to adapt and modernize and have continuously brought in a stream of speakers and participants showing that there are ways for the industry to thrive. In 2009, they invited me to present a case study on Trent Reznor, which remains one of the most popular presentations I’ve ever given. Four years later I still get at least an email a week about it, and sometimes more.
Unfortunately, due to some other commitments, I can’t make it to the next Midem coming up at the end of January, but the organizers are trying something different this year. Rather than handpicking all of the speakers like they normally do, they’d like to try out some “new blood,” and have opened up a Speak at Midem Competition, letting anyone under the age of 30 pitch the Midem organizers as to why you should get to give your presentation on the Midem stage. For anyone looking to take part, the initial form is here, but I can say that presenting at Midem has been tremendously helpful to me over the years. So, if you have something unique to say about the industry, and want a giant stage to present it on (and you’re under 30…), why not toss in a submission?

“In 2009, they invited me to present a case study on Trent Reznor, which remains one of the most popular presentations I’ve ever given.

You’re a legend in your own mind. — Entirely aside from disagreeing with your notions, you’re becoming quite remarkable for refrains of: “Look at me! I’m important!”
“Unfortunately, due to some other commitments, I can’t make it to the next Midem” — Their loss, isn’t it?

It’s a good thing you never, ever draw attention to yourself, right? You’d look like a fucking hypocrite then, wouldn’t you?

If it bothers you that much, there are literally millions of other blogs you could be reading instead.
sheesh
Is there suggestion form to fill out for those of us whose balls have already dropped?
…off to go buy a rocking chair and ponder old age I guess.

Yeah, what’s with the age discrimination? People over 30 don’t have good ideas?

That might be true really. After all, disco music was all due to people who are now over 30, so….
But seriously, the age discrimination part is a bit annoying. Anyone know the reasoning behind it?

He’s got an addiction. I kind of pity him.

It’s actually Mike’s alter-ego commenting while Mike sleeps. He’s a very torn individual.

Perhaps it is pathetic, but can you imagine this place without their backwards bleating? …. it would be so … empty

There is that jealousy of your underachieving puny brain.
