“Panos’ Brew” is Sonicbids founder/CEO Panos Panay’s weekly (or more) post about whatever happens to be on his mind. Look for musings and observations on entrepreneurship, the state of the music business, his experiences with members, interesting things he’s seen in his travels, or just about anything else.

October is a busy month. Just back from CMJ in NYC (had a fun panel about Web 2.0 and its impact on the music business) and I am leaving today for London to attend Musexpo and then Seville, Spain (Thursday) for WOMEX. If you’re in either of the cities, come by and say hi (I’ll need the human contact).
In London I am speaking on a Digital Summit panel (Tuesday, 28th) moderated by Ted Cohen (Tag Strategic), with Dave Ulmer (Motorola), Ian Rogers (Top Spin), John Grinham (Nokia), Dave Goldberg (Benchmark Capital), Rob Wells (Universal) and Rob Lewis (Omniphone). Good crowd, should be fun.
In Seville for Womex, I am presenting a workshop on the Empowered Artist Tool Kit. I never attended Womex before and hanging out with the world music crowd will be an experience. Excited also to attend all the showcases, there are 17 Sonicbids bands playing in London and 33 in Seville.
We are also hosting two Sonicbids Member dinners, one in each city. I’m eager to get feedback on the new Gig Listing pages we are working on and which we should be releasing in beta in the next few weeks.
Lastly, (one should always mix business with football), I am excited to attend not one, but two London derbies. Tomorrow I’m off to Upton Park for West Ham vs. Arsenal; Wednesday at Emirates Stadium for Arsenal vs. Spurs.
Come on you Gunners.
