Music creatives conference to take place over two days, November 9-10
Music Expo San Francisco takes place over the weekend of November 9-10.
Music Expo, the seminar, networking and technology conference series for music creatives presented in association with Sound On Sound, is running its final event of the year at the SAE Expression College in San Francisco - the city where the Expo held its inaugural event back in 2014. But Music Expo SF 2019, which takes place over the weekend of November 9-10, is a much bigger beast, and now runs for two days.
The longer schedule allows time for even more workshops from music technology companies, producers and engineers and influential music industry personnel. Confirmed attendees at the time of writing include mastering engineer Piper Payne (who will lead various sessions devoted to the science and art of all-analogue recording and mixing), Tiana Lewis, Head of Pop and R&B Programming at Pandora Media, Music Supervisor at Google Nellie Rajabi, and Grammy winning Recording Engineer Brian Gibbs, plus representatives from Focusrite/Novation, Yamaha, Steinberg, Eventide and Leapwing Audio.
Seminars confirmed for the San Francisco event so far include:
