Free, public Music 2.0 / Future of Music Webinar tomorrow July 31st 2009 5pm CET

I am trying to figure out if virtual i.e. remote, public presentations can actually work, and if so, what tools to use, and if I should offered webinars for free or not (and if not, at what price point I could offer them, and on what topics).

The most often requested subject for a presentation is, by-far, "Music 2.0 - The Future of the Music Industry". I get about 2 inquiries or speaking invitations per day on this topic; guess that's because of the various books I have written on this (The Future of Music, Music 2.0 etc) - so this will be the first topic for the webinar series.

On Friday, July 31, at 5pm CET, 4pm GMT/UK, 11 am EST, 8am PST, midnight JST and 1am (next day) AEST, I will present my first free webinar on "Music 2.0 - The Future of Music".  This first session will be FREE; in return I may simply ask you for some feedback and your patience while I am figuring this out. Future sessions may well be free, as well - I am working on that, so stay tuned!

I will be using Drop.io and this is how you can join me (no registration is required - just show up):

1. Go to my presentations page on Drop.io

   Cover via Amazon

2. Log in with the guest password "future"
3. Join the presentation once it's active; it will tell you on the screen. I will start the intro-page 15 minutes before the times listed above; please be sure to add your real name when the box comes up (if that's ok)
4. Call this (U.S.) number to hear me talk or ask questions live:  +1 218-486-3891 x 956827539 (sorry, drop.io does not offer local dial-in numbers yet). Note that the Chat Tool is part of drop.io so you can just use that to communicate with me, as well (but there is no listening feature, yet)
   
5. If you don't want to call-in try connecting to my new UStream.tv feed and listen online
   

I will provide the PDF when you log in, but in the meantime you may want to check out my many other presentations on this topic by browsing my slideshare PDFs.

I look forward to seeing you at the webinar - and please be patient for this inaugural edition if any technical issues arise. Thanks - and spread the word.

Cool stuff! Finally some one taking the lead to talk about this in public. I think this will be a great free music webinar worth following.
