Latest panel and speaker additions include Paul Tollett from Goldenvoice, who will be moderating - you guessed it - the Festival panel. Napster's Senior VP and Chief Technology Officer, William E. Pence will sit on the DRM panel, to provide his thoughts and points in what will be one of the most important conversations for the music industry today. President of Mercury Records, David Massey will stand and deliver a keynote speech that is sure to shed a little light on his business of selling music, and Ultra Records Founder and CEO, Patrick Moxey, will have quite a bit to add in the Howl Seminar conversation. Super-uber producer, Rodney Jerkins will be on hand for a keynote speech, and is surely going to have much to say about where music is heading and the way it is being made. The current schedule for both day and night may be found below, with a few additions to come.
