This year’s line-up becomes increasingly grander.

Jón Gnarr, Reykjavik’s infamous newly elected mayor, will partake in the Sound of Change transpanel alongside Xavier Troussard, Acting Director of the Directorate-General for Education and Culture at the European Commission and Helen Sildna, Managing Director of Tallinn Music Week. The panel will be moderated by Kolbrún Halldórsdóttir, President of the Federation of Icelandic Artists.

This will be the last panel in a series of three occurring in different cities around the world. The question that will be discussed concerns how the current structure of the creative industries influences social and economic change.

With decades of music experience working for the likes of Motown, Keith Harris, Stevie Wonder’s representative and CEO of Keith Harris Music Ltd, will partake in the copyright workshop, where questions concerning today’s copyright boundaries will be explored.

And finally, Andie Nordgren will be a part of the Creatives Connecting with Consumers workshop. Andie produced the Interactive Emmy Award winning game The Truth About Marika and is now working as a technical producer at CCP games. She is also one of the founders of the Geek Girl Meetup.
