Midem Roundup
Posted by: Gannon Hall Under: Events | Company |Hi Everyone - Several of us from Kyte just returned from the Midem conference in Cannes, France. The event was a big success for us, starting off with our Universal Music Group announcement, and culminating with an equally exciting Sony Music deal that we announced today. Here are a few additional highlights from the event:
Michael Robertson of MP3.com, who couldn't be there in person due to legal problems with EMI, came in live from San Diego to Cannes via Kyte for the MidemNet keynote panel. This gave everyone a first hand glimpse of the technology and created quite a buzz.... after all, seeing is believing:

Daniel's panel, "Connecting artists & fans – A showcase of services," gave us the opportunity to explain what Kyte for the music industry is all about - connecting artists with fans. Given that the theme of the conference was artist-fan engagement, this was a perfect forum for us.
We were surprised and flattered when several speakers acknowledged Kyte on stage during their various talks, including Courtney Holt, president of MySpace Music, Michael Doernberg, CEO, ReverbNation, and Tero Ojanperä, Nokia's EVP Entertainment and Communities. Thanks guys!
We met a lot of interesting people. One of the most inspiring was JYP, the most successful artist/entrepranuer in Asia. JY is not only one of the biggest stars in Asia, but he puts together super stars like Rain and Wonder Girls. Of course we'd love for him to start using Kyte:

The Midem organizers used Kyte to power their MidemNet vblog and artist video channel. It was great working with them and we look forward to a continued partnership.
Our booth provided the perfect meeting place for folks to get to know us and our technology:

Thanks everyone for all your support!
