Over 800 people attended Asia's only regional music business conference, Music Matters, at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong from 26-28 May 2010.

The two-day conference included face-to-face sessions, discussions, keynote presentations and in-depth analysis along with networking events, including Asian music showcases, parties, lunches and sector-themed breakfasts.

Over the course of the conference, speakers included:

  • Daniel Ek, CEO and co-founder of Spotify
  • Neil Warnock, CEO of the The Agency Group
  • Bill Silva, CEO of Bill Silva Entertainment
  • Omniphone Group Executive Chairman, Rob Lewis
  • Sire Records founder and CEO, Seymour Stein
  • Nettwerk Records CEO, Terry McBride
  • Rani Cohen, CEO of TuneWiki
  • Scarlett Li of Zebra Media

The conference was a productive one for Mongolian band Altan Urag. Invited to perform as the opening act of Music Matters, the six-piece was so impressive that they have signed to performing rights association BMI for their worldwide performing rights representation. Altan Urag consists of six graduates of the Music and Dance College of Mongolia. Formed in 2002 and with seven albums to date, the group is sponsored by coal mining company South Gobi Resources whose CEO Alexander Molyneux said: 'We are delighted to see Altan Urag sign its first international agreement with BMI thanks to the networking opportunities at Music Matters.'

Music Matters 2010 culminated in the inaugural Music Matters Live with H&M Festival featuring 37 bands from 12 countries playing five venues in Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong district.
