Pulse@ILMC

ILMC has launched a new industry platform to sit at the intersection of technology and live events, a collaboration with 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 3 March, a full day of discussion and debate with leading figures from both industries.

Topics already slated for the PULSE day at ILMC include The New Fan Experience, which will consider fan engagement in the plethora of new virtual performance spaces online, with Danny Rukasin and Brandon Goodman (Best Friends Music), Sheri Bryant (Sansar), Ric Salmon (Driift) and Tommas Arnby (Locomotion).
