Conference 2013

Behind every music event, is the promoter.
He or she is the one that had the idea, wanted it to happen and made it happen. And of course next to every promoter, are the various professional figures, whose collaboration is fundamental in helping the promoter make the event happen.

The djs, our modern day rockstars, certainly would not have the world wide success they enjoy, without the promoter.

Promoters are also able to detect the weak signals of the future, and to amplify and transform them into music events and entertainment events in general. They are on the cutting edge and thus have a priviledged and invaluable position to creatively build bridges for brands and media with the public. Not only can a promoter coordinate and bring together all of the professional figures from the music and entertainment industry, but they also have the ability to speak to the public and private institutions, the media, new media and multinationals, very often introducing ground breaking concepts which shape the future.

IPM – International Promoters Meeting, is the first Italian meeting dedicated to promoters, and their ability to blend creativity with business. IPM is an artistic and professional coming together, where like minded professionals are able to exchange and share experiences and ideas.

Here some of the conversations and meetings of last IPM 2012:

‘Why Should I Marry You?’
3:00 pm

Which are the key factors that make the Leading Companies/Brands and their Marketing Directors support, or “marry” an entertainment project/event? Constituents of this conversation:

  • How does the brand world break down – ad agencies, media agencies, brand managers, PR agencies
  • Who controls the budget?
  • Who and how to approach?
  • What are they looking for
  • Examples and case studies of brands working in music
  • Recognition of self peculiarities to capture brands attention

‘The Italian Job’
4:30 pm

The Italian Promoter and Clubbing scene needs to be told. It also deserves to be examined and commented by who works/relates with it from the foreign countries. Agencies, promoters and artists meet and discuss about the Italian music and entertainment context, which most of the times is too complicated and requires too much effort, and do this together with their international colleagues.

  • Is it the Italian way so unique, and why?
  • Is it about the famous Italian Organized Chaos?
  • Is It About The Money?
  • Is It About The Culture?
  • Is it About The Language?

Or maybe it is just about The Game. The Game Between People. The struggle they have with the English language, makes it difficult for them to be ‘buyers’? Italy, anyway is importing music more than it is exporting.

The Masterclass Series
4:00 pm

Tra le capacità principali di un promoter c’è quella di essere un attento osservatore della realtà quotidiana e la capacità quindi di cogliere e anticipare gusti e tendenze musicali e sociali. E parlare di club culture a Roma e in Italia equivale a pronunciare un nome che della musica ha fatto un proprio percorso personale a trecetossantagradi: da DJ a Club Owner a Promoter e Producer di successo di grandi eventi, ha ridisegnato per sempre luoghi, flussi e tendenze del clubbing romano e nazionale.

A condividere in una Masterclass di fronte ai producer e promoter più giovani di IPM il proprio percorso personale attraverso oltre 30 anni di musica vissuta e suonata rigorosamente in vinile: Giancarlino a.k.a. Omo Nero.
