Abstract

INOCON stands for Innovative Nomad Music & Technology Conference. It is a free music conference focusing on innovation and its impact on the music industry. As part of the INOCONcert, Berklee students had the opportunity to showcase their talent.

In 2020, the first INOCON was conducted by a group of GEMB and MPTI students. Their vision was to create the first Berklee online conference that gathered music business talks and live streamed performances. The two objectives were to produce a high-quality virtual experience that provides practical, forward-thinking knowledge and opportunities for artists to grow their careers; and to give these artists a platform to showcase innovative solutions in the music industry and performances.

After four years of INOCON solely being present in the virtual world, this year for the first time INOCON was in-person. In that spirit, we aimed to create a community fuelled by our passion for music that goes beyond listening to speakers on stage. We believe in the power of collaboration and interaction. That is why this year, we presented student run panels to inspire others and have the chance to share something you feel deeply excited about. In addition, based on the students’ feedback we acquired music professionals on board to share their stories on topics such as venue management, the future of labels and artists in the metaverse.

INOCON 2023 took place at the CCCC (Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània) in Valencia on April 29th, 2023. The conference featured a mix of panel discussions, masterclasses, showcases, and workshops... But what is a music conference without music? For the grand finale, students showcased their wide range of talents. Just as diverse and multicultural as our community is, so was this concert. Timeless, non-genre specific and overall epic.
