Panel 3 – Social Networks – How to Engage and How to be Heard

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Panelists: Carl Morris (Native/Sleeveface), Lisa Matthews (Welsh Music Foundation), Colin Consterdine (Sound of Monkey)

As Social networks develop and mature how do we integrate them and their access to audience to create a rewarding relationship for artists and fans. What is the best way to use Facebook? How does an artist or label get the most out of Twitter? What other services are essential or useful?

As Web access and music move on to phones and netbooks it’s never been more important to have a proper grasp of the potential in this area.
