A Conference on The Future Of The Creative Industries
You Are In Control
The third You Are In Control – conference explores the latest digital business developments and investment available in music, media and the arts. This innovative international conference takes place in Reykjavík on the 23rd & 24th of September 2009 and will coincide with both the Reykjavík International Film Festival and Nordisk Panorama.
Keynote speaker is IDEO‘s managing partner and co-chief Paul Bennett. This year IDEO has topped Fast Company‘s list of the world‘s most innovative companies in design. Paul Bennett will look into the future with the creative industries with the designer‘s mind but at the same time look at how the digital business models are overlapping in music, film, visual arts, litterature and design.
Other speakers include Habbo‘s Oisin Lunny, Helga Valfells from Iceland's New Business Venture Fund, A.R. Rahman's lawyer Simon Long, Hampus Kivimae from Sony/ATV Publishing in Scandinavia, NBC/Universal's music supervisor Alicen Schneider and Nicola Slade from Record of the Day.
You Are In Control tackles key industry questions like: What are the new business models creative industries are facing and working with in the digital sector? How has the digital environment changed the music industry? How is the digital revolution affecting films, fashion, visual arts, design and litterature? How can today's creatives work together on designing tomorrow? Who are the new players? You Are In Control brings together the best international creative, music and media minds to discuss new business models, diversity and new ways of working in the creative industries.
As collaborator in this project – and with the support from Goethe-Institut – CIA.IS – Center for Icelandic Art invites Gerfried Stocker, director of Ars Electronica in Linz (Austria) to talk about the future strategies in the visual arts from the background of media technologies. The workshop visual arts 2.0 will discuss new evolving business ideas, the future of museums and the meaning of art in public space together with Gerfried Stocker, the artist Finnbogi Pétursson, art theorist Margrét Elísabeth Ólafsdóttir and Christian Schoen, curator and director of the CIA.IS.
In recent years You Are In Control has received some well deserved attention. Ralph Simon, founder of Zomba Music and widely regarded as one of the founders of the modern mobile entertainment industry, was a part of the 2008 edition, stating that "despite the financial gloom, there was much optimism and excitement about the state of musicianship and interesting new acts fomenting and making early waves in Reykjavik, which continues to show amazing vigour for new music and creativity." Music Week's Christopher Barrett is also a fan, writing: “…delegates at the You Are In Control conference in Reykjavík were left in little doubt as to the rich creative resources of Iceland’s music business.”
This year Iceland Music Export teams up with the Centre For Icelandic Arts, Iceland Design Centre, Icelandic Film Centre and Reykjavík International Film Festival to produce the best edition to date.
