MUSIC BU$INESS 2.0
YOUR PLACE AS AN ARTIST BETWEEN STREAMING AND AI
This 60-minute keynote is a wake-up call.
It contrasts the artist’s reality of the past century with the future of the music profession—and beyond. Fees are shrinking. CDs are silent. Licensing power is concentrating at the top. But while old revenue models fade out, new ones are tuning up.
Some of them are barely touched by the AI revolution.
The artists of tomorrow don’t just perform.
They design experiences.
They lead communities.
They compose media ecosystems.
As content creators, community leaders, and media designers, they turn passive audiences into active ensembles. This keynote is a look into the crystal ball—right in the middle of a historic shift for the creative world.
Key themes:
- Versatility as your strongest instrument
- From fanbase to community: interaction as the new currency
- Branding as your digital stage presence
Keynote, 60 minutes
„JAZZ THINK!NG" IN BU$INESS
IMPROVISATION AS A STRATEGY: FLEXIBILITY, LISTEN & REACT IN BUSINESS
This one-hour keynote is structured like a jazz set—three pieces, one flow.
“Your company is a large orchestra.
Or is it actually a jazz trio?”
This question sets the tone. We explore what makes high-performing teams truly swing—and when rigid scores kill momentum. Leadership, trust, and timing become the groove that separates good teams from great ones.
THE ART OF NEGOT!ATION dives into negotiation as a musical dialogue. Listening before playing. Leaving space. Creating win-win outcomes where everyone walks off stage feeling heard - and successful.
BACK TO HUMAN is the final chord. A powerful vision of collaboration between humans and AI. Not man versus machine, but a dynamic duet - playing the full range of possibilities, in harmony, with intention.
Key themes:
- Orchestra vs. jazz trio: how teams really function
- THE ART OF NEGOT!ATION
- BACK TO HUMAN: humans and AI in productive harmony
Keynote, 60 minutes
