The event

Where music, tech, and business converge

#musictech is where music, technology, and global business meet, and the official music vertical of Slush, Europe’s leading tech conference. This is the third time it’s organised.

The event is application-based. Every submission is reviewed, so the room stays relevant and curated for the people in it. #musictech brings together music tech startups, music industry figures, and the creative community with the VCs and business angels who back them. The focus is practical: internationalization, partnerships, and growth for music tech companies expanding across global markets.

The day includes a speaker program and plenty of time to network with the decision-makers building the next stage of the global music industry. It happens in Helsinki, a city with a deep tech and creative scene.

No Slush ticket is required to attend.

Organised by Singa.

To close the day, the afterparty: Singa Karaoke Chaos. A Slush classic that’s run for years and become the one night everyone puts on their list, where more than 1,000 attendees pack the room and take over the mic.

The organiser

Hosted by Singa

Singa modernises karaoke, the last analog bastion of the entertainment industry, with a complete ecosystem for venues and consumers across 36 countries. Singa is the first and only karaoke service to partner with a major record label, putting original master recordings on the mic: the real recordings, not soundalike covers. #musictech exists to get the whole music and tech business in one room and grow the category together.

The afterparty

Slush Day 1 Karaoke Chaos by Singa

The legendary karaoke extravaganza is back. If you know, you know. If you don’t, get ready for a wild ride.

This year it’s bigger: two stages and twice the chaos. Pick your floor or run between both. Either way, it’s the kind of karaoke night you’ll be talking about all year. The full program drops soon. For now, warm up those vocals.
