ABOUT WALLIFORNIA MUSIC TECH Wallifornia MusicTech is a conference that gathers, each year, the international musictech industry, on the same week and the same place than Urban Music Festival Les Ardentes (80.000 festival-goers).

Wallifornia MusicTech aims to promote music and new technologies by bringing together artists, labels, agents, festival organizers, musictech start-up, researchers, key players of the music industry and investors. More than bringing music and technologies to the public, Wallifornia MusicTech wants to help companies in the field to develop and foster creativity and innovation. 

 After a successful edition last year, the 2018 conference is now on the run and even more ambitious. The convention will include a 2 weeks MusicTech Start-up Acceleration Program (supported by VC fund LeanSquare Universal Music Group), a professional networking convention, a MusicTech Hackathon (with SXSW’s hackathon facilitators as guest organizers) and a MusicTech Start-up Garden from 5th to 8th of July (where musictech start-up get the opportunity to present their products/services to festival-goers and professionals) along with thematic workshops, keynotes, panels and performances, and even a gaming zone…

In 2018, this series of events will take place from 26th of June till 8th of July.
