MORE THAN 250 retailers and over 20 of the market’s biggest suppliers will be at MIRC at The Brewery in London on June 28th. Now in its third year,
MIRC’s one-day conference and expo format has established itself as a key date on the calendar for retailers and suppliers, who enjoy a selection of instructional and informative speakers, plus panel-style debates on key industry topics in the morning, as well as a chance to do business in the afternoon exhibition. This year’s morning
conference element is rounded off by a keynote speech from former Yes keyboardist and all round prog-rock legend, Rick Wakeman under the heading A Grumpy Old Keyboard Player’s View of the Music Industry.
The full line up of speakers, panellists and timings can be found on page 32 of this issue, while information on the afternoon expo and the various suppliers in attendance is found in the
MIRC 2012 supplement that comes with this issue of MI Pro.
Musikmesse is the
headline sponsor of the MI Retail Conference & Expo, with Platinum Partners including Barnes & Mullins, JHS, Casio, Rocksmith, Electro-Voice and Yamaha. Gold Partners include Audio-Technica, EMC/Tanglewood,
Intermusic, Lamba, Marshall, Mel Bay, Monacor, Pioneer, Rotosound, Korg, Elixir, Soar Valley Music, SCV, FBT and Sony. The event takes place on Thursday June 28th at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London.
The day is free for
retailers to attend and includes the conference
session in the morning, and the expo in the afternoon, which opens after lunch. In addition, there will be
a series of ‘Break-Out Sessions’ during the afternoon, giving distributors and manufacturers the opportunity to present technical or service sessions with smaller groups of dealers.
An after-show drinks
reception, which is sponsored by Roland, will provide networking opportunities to round off the day’s events. And all dealers will go home with a VIP Gift Bag. There may still be some places available for retailers to attend. Those interested can register by emailing
