Music x Media event made history this year: we broke the record in participant number, produced a record-breaking amount of programs and saw a wider array of speakers from different fields than ever before. Music x Media strives to be a future forum that touches on different creative fields, where we create added professional and societal value from creator to creator. Based on this year’s event, we will start to develop Music x Media’s year-around services and produce an even more exceptional event in 2023.
This year 1100 visitors, over 300 speakers and around 50 volunteers participated in Music x Media. The four-day seminar program consisted of over a hundred panel discussions, workshops and keynote speeches. Lost in Music Festival offered over 127 shows, which attracted a crowd of 9000 people.
Music x Media wants to thank each and everyone of our visitors, speakers, gala guests, and volunteers working alongside our crew that participated in our event 28.9.-1.10. Above all, we would like to thank you for creating an inspiring, safe and talkworthy event.
A special thank you goes to our international guests, who brought new collaborative possibilities to Tampere and showed interest towards the up and coming Finnish musicians at the Lost in Music -showcase festival ..
