All That Matters returns to Singapore with new events on mediatainment in Asia
MUMBAI: Recognised as the gateway to the Asian entertainment industry, All That Matters has opened its doors for registration and will return to Singapore on 20-23 May 2015. Anticipated to attract thousands of executives and fans from all over the world, All That Matters, is a unique “Business2Business2Fan” experience which combines the complex worlds of brands, consumers, technology and entertainment to focus on new frontiers in Shaping Asia’s Digital Media and Entertainment Future.
Dubbed “the Asian Davos of Digital” and “TED meets SXSW” All That Matters unites the Music, Digital Media, Live Entertainment and Sponsorship industries to stimulate a week long extravaganza of business creativity and connection.
“All That Matters will be an incredible week of business insights, leadership and collaboration on how best to streamline, integrate and succeed in the brave new world of social and digitally powered entertainment. We’ll be looking down the road to examine new technologies, new audiences, new opportunities and the ways in which marketers and entertainment professionals can keep pace and make money. No one ever wins by standing still,” said Jasper Donat, Co-founder & CEO of organiser Branded.
“We’re also delighted to launch two new events to ensure we’re providing the 360 degree perspective our attendees have come to rely on for their business planning. LIVE! Matters is a deep dive into the booming live entertainment industry and Future Media Matters evolves our Digital and Social Matters properties into a forward-focused forum projecting the innovations and strategies for success in a ‘mediatainment’ world. Of course there will also be plenty of play with our reputation for being Asia’s entertainment connectors being a key differentiator of the whole All That Matters experience.”
