Whether it’s the instruments themselves or the means of distribution, tech developments played a key role in pushing the music forward.

On Friday, Aug. 25, four people working at the intersection of tech and tunes will talk about what they’re seeing today at General Assembly. It starts at 6 p.m., so there’s still time to make a show afterward.

“You’ll hear thought leaders and musicians in the DC scene share how the distribution of songs and albums has been shaped by the internet’s free market, how the relationship between record labels and artists has adjusted to the times, and what the future of music looks like in a digital world,” the event description states.

The panel features representatives from an internet radio stalwart that’s been in the news, some of D.C.’s prime venues and a pair of ventures that look to put the spotlight on artists. Here’s the lineup:

  • Taylor Bennett, director of public affairs for Pandora.
  • Cameron Jones, CFO at Revolt TV, a music cable network focused on up-and-coming artists.
  • Madelyn Dutt, media content manager for I.M.P., which manages Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Anthem, The Lincoln Theatre, and 9:30 Club.
  • Fitz Holladay, director of Sofar Sounds, which produces private concert series Songs From a Room.
