MEDIA-TECH Association announces to co-locate “The World Physical Media Conference” with “Making Vinyl” on May 2 & 3, 2019 in Berlin
Both Events to Be Held at Berlin’s Legendary Hansa Studios
Berlin, GERMANY, December 18, 2018 — MEDIA-TECH will kick off the event on May 2 with their conference “The World Physical Media,” focused on optical media (CD, DVD & Blu-ray) and other entertainment distribution formats.
After two successful events in the U.S., Making Vinyl now brings to Europe for the first time its B2B conference celebrating vinyl’s global rebirth on May 3 at the legendary Hansa Studios here, where David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, U2, R.E.M. and countess other major artists recorded LPs.
Frank Hartwig, President of Media-Tech Association: “The Colonial/MEDIA-TECH cooperation is a perfect opportunity to highlight how all formats of physical media not be forgotten. Visibility & advancements in technology are important for the survival of the products.”
We had a hunch that we were onto something with a B2B conference devoted to vinyl’s comeback, and the outpouring of comments that it’s been the best business conference they’ve ever attended has been especially gratifying,” says Making Vinyl executive producer Bryan Ekus, president of Colonial Purchasing, which is collaborating with the MEDIA-TECH Association on the Berlin event next spring.
Stay tuned for further announcements regarding a keynote speaker and other program details for the Berlin event, as well as Making Vinyl return to the U.S. in mid-October 2019.
