Chaired by Daniel Glass, President of Artemis Records, this conference has attracted one of the industry’s most talented and highly regarded players - Aaron Walton, Founder of AWE - as a keynote speaker. U.S.-based AWE, a specialist entertainment marketing agency, is recognized worldwide for having created some of the most prominent artist and brand associations such as Pepsi and Britney Spears, Cadillac and Led Zeppelin, AT&T and Whitney Houston. The conference programme will be devoted to three critical areas of the Music for Images business.
