“We have worked hard over the last few weeks to put together an impressive list of international speakers and panel content for our audience. With the industry still relatively dormant, it is imperative for us to bring together a world wide community to keep conversations surrounding the music scene of Asia going. This i s why Get Wired was born,” John Beh, founder of Wired Music Week.

The Connect France pillar was created with the objective of shining a spotlight on the French electronic scene as well creating opportunities for collaborations (corporate and creative).

“As huge fans of French electronic music and scene, we are absolutely delighted to be working with the core team from Le Bureau Export and The French Embassy of Singapore to curate exciting new content, ”Adam Mathews, Curator & Partner of Wired Music Week, “Never i n our wildest dreams would we have thought that we would be connecting with the great and the good of the electronic music cognoscenti of France let alone having them speak at our event!”.
