Chad Hurley, founder and CEO of YouTube, the world’s leading video content platform, and Joanna Shields, Global President of social network Bebo, will join forces for an exceptional keynote session to close the MidemNet conference programme. The heads of these Web 2.0 giants, which both provide access to a wide range of musical content, will address the shared issues of positioning their platforms within the music industry and how to monetise that access.

An international forum on new technologies and new economic models in the music industry, MidemNet takes place from 26 to 27 January in Cannes as part of MIDEM, the world’s music market (27-31 January 2008).
