VMDO x AAM: Right Here, Right Now

Blockchain, NFTs, Decentralisation; Starter Pack

Published 30 November, 2021

VMDO will be presenting two conversations as part of virtual event program Right Here, Right Now hosted by Association of Artist Managers, aimed at educating and inspiring Australian music managers of all levels.

Over 2 parts, expert speakers will dive into block-chain and crypto technology, Web 3.0 and the decentralisation of the music world. These sessions will break down the basics, study how this technology can be used today and explore future possibilities and opportunities.

Wednesday December 8th

PART 1 - 10:30-11:30am AEDT

Speakers: Reggie Ba-Pe III. Moderated by Maggie Collins

Today it’s all about tech! Together with VMDO, we’re going to deep-dive into blockchain technology, Web 3.0 and how decentralisation has the potential to create a utopian future for artists. In this world, there’s a dwindling need for middle-men, thus creating a ‘Sovereign Artist’. But the question is; how does a manager fit into that picture? In Part 1, we’ll be getting things super clear. If you’re new to blockchain or crypto, or have never even heard of Web 3.0, we’ll be breaking down the basics and terminology in a way that’s easy to digest.

PART 2 - 1-2:30pm AEDT

Speakers: Joel Connelly, Sean Gardner, Alex Iveson and Rhianna Patrick. Moderated by Maggie Collins. 

In Part 2 of today’s Think Tank, presented by VMDO, we’re going to explore what’s truly possible in a future, decentralised world. We’ll address the speed of change, but also the fact that we are still in the early days of this development. We’ll study the building blocks and explore what they could be used for. What should managers understand and learn today? What should managers implement immediately? And what should they implement over the next 12 months? All possibilities will be explored.
