Teosto participates in two programmes at Slush Music. A talk to be given in cooperation with Nelonen Media deals with the role of on-demand services for tomorrow’s radio and the licensing of music content for radio’s online services.
In addition, Turo Pekari (Senior Advisor, Innovation and Discovery, Teosto) attends a discussion hosted by Allen Bargfrede on the music industry’s new opportunities brought about by blockchain technology.

The programme on the first day of Slush Music takes place at the Cable Factory and, on the second day, the attendees will blend in with the rest of the Slush crowd at Messukeskus, where they will find up to 15,000 people to connect with.
