Gigi Johnson and Storm Gloor welcomed participants and explained the origins of the Amplify Music Virtual Conference idea, which started from their canceled SXSW “Future of Music Cities” session. They then shared how the program for April 23 and 24 was expanded and the 11 Core Themes planned for the following week. They introduced the structure of this around-the-clock and around-the-world event to date, and plans to follow.
