Gabberfest Conference 1

After 3 years The Hard Data has established itself as a media outlet for hard electronic music, but numerous challenges have accompanied its growth. Specifically, the demands of the readers have outgrown the staff, and the current and future needs and manifestations of the hard electronic scene need to be identified and addressed.

Joel Bevacqua, aka DJ Deadly Buda, the magazine’s present editor and founder, will host a round-table conversation with the goal of addressing and solving the challenges facing the hard electronic scene and The Hard Data. By soliciting input, perspectives and action from Gabberfest attendees, this round-table will play a major (perhaps the major) role in shaping The Hard Data’s subject matter, editorial, media staff, distribution and financial structure for the years going forward.

The conference meets at 2:30-3:30pm (and perhaps longer if necessary) at Gabberfest’s indoor meeting area. Attendees will be participating in Gabberfest’s first conference panel.
