The reason is simple: they make more money. In recent years, Ford produced its 500,000th 3D printed automotive part, while Nike used 3D printing to create the cleats for the Super Bowl. The freedom to create innovative, rapid prototypes, and produce small runs of boutique parts will improve your manufacturing, designs, and most importantly, your bottom line. Meet the leaders in using 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and new alternative materials for musical instrument design.

While technology disrupts, can it also provide the way forward to a prosperous new era, redefining the capture of live musical performances in the large-format studio? Can multi-camera hi-res ubiquitous video streaming capability, 360 degree video capture, ambisonic sound, and other emerging technologies combine with design thinking to usher in a new golden era of big studios? This A3E session will explore the path forward for the business of music through new technology and aggressive thought leadership.

 Global CEO Mastermind Panel: The Future of Cloud & Internet Integration for Musical Instruments While consumer technology has fostered massive innovation for computer-based musicians, the downsides of the home production can be daunting. Keeping up with the demands of the latest software, creative isolation, and the lack of collaborative energy from traditional recording sessions are just a few of the challenges. The latest innovations in cloud and Internet based products are solving these issues by overcoming the limitations of consumer computer hardware, and empowering musicians to collaborate across platforms, cultures, and even across oceans. A3E will explore best practices for all instrument and gear manufacturers to expand their use of the cloud and the Internet in the years ahead.

              | Session 10: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM - The Hilton: Level 4: El Capitan Artificial Intelligence: Will Machines Replace Human Musicians? A3E dares to ask the question: Who will be leading the band in 2025? There are so many reasons to think that music may be so abstract, that only the human mind can master its nuance as a language. At the same time, FaceBook recently shut down their two AI machines who had developed their own language, and Google's DeepMind program has an AI that can contemplate the future. Musical machines are emerging on the horizon.
