PULSE is a collaboration between ILMC, senior booking agent Mike Malak (Paradigm), and digital entertainment expert Yvan Boudillet (TheLynk). The first PULSE event will take place within this year’s ILMC on Wednesday 3 March, a full day of discussion and debate with leading figures from both industries.

The event is a full day dedicated to the technological innovations that have flooded the industry while concerts are on hold, as well as the emerging technologies set to further transform the business in the years ahead.

Topics already slated include Sweet Streams: Best in Class, which invites the leaders in the live-streaming space (including Bandsintown’s Managing Partner, Fabrice Sergent) to share best practices and insights; and The Live-streamers Guide to Live Music, which collects a line-up of gamers, streamers and platform heads to tell the live sector what’s in store.

The New Fan Experience considers fan engagement in the plethora of new virtual performance spaces online, and pitch sessions from the best tech providers and solutions are hosted by long-time tech evangelist, LiveFrom’s Steve Machin. Meanwhile, The Business of Live Tech looks at emerging business models and new deals around tech and music.

All PULSE sessions are free to attend for ILMC delegates and form part of the main conference schedule.
