Press Release: Karaoke Summit 2012
Karaoke industry movers and shakers to meet in Nashville June 22 for Summit
Knoxville, TN – June 15, 2012 – Twenty-five of the biggest names in the karaoke industry are set to meet on June 22 at the Hilton Nashville Downtown for the Karaoke Cloud Music City Summit 2012 – The End Of The Age Of Plastic.
The event will mark the first time in history that all of the major industry names will gather together to discuss the state of the industry, innovations in technology and delivery, and piracy interdiction.
“Much like the broader music industry, the karaoke world has undergone a sea change in recent years, Changes in the way that end users and industry professionals use and interact with our products are telling us that we must evolve in order to remain viable and relevant.”
~Joe Vangieri, CEO of Digitrax Entertainment, LLC
Adapting to those changes is of paramount importance to an industry that has seen many of the same specters that haunt the general music industry since the rise of Napster in the late 1990’s erode margins, even though markets have expanded.
“Most people are not aware that the karaoke industry in the United States has been on the verge of imploding,Unless we can come together and find common cause against the challenges we all face, it’s possible that high-quality karaoke music could vanish completely.”
~ Vangieri
