Thursday's ContentNext London Mixer: Q&A With Last.fm's Martin Stiksel Added, Registration Open
This story was written by Robert Andrews.
An added reason to join us for this week's UK mixer: a Q&A with Martin Stiksel, one of the three co-founders of Last.fm. As you know, Stiksel and company sold to CBS (NYSE: CBS) in one of the highest-profile start-up UK-US deals of late and we'll have plenty to talk about during the on-stage interview. How can Last.fm stay entrepreneurial in a big corporation? How has the sale changed Last.fm? What kind of competition would MySpace Music's proposed JV be? Bring your own questionsthis is about social media, after allor leave some suggestions here.
We'll be at the Millennium Gloucester hotel in Kensington on Thursday, March 27and we'll have the usual mix of real-world "social networking" with digital media industry folk in newspapers, the web, TV, radio, marketing, VC and more, so it's a great opportunity to meet new peers away from the office.
Registration is still open http://pcukmar08.eventbrite.com but we are nearing capacity so sign up fast. Thanks to our gold sponsor Limelight Networks; drinks courtesy of IMR Executive.
