The c/o pop convention bills itself as a "Pop Culture 2.0 Convention" and a "Business Forum for the Creative Industries" that is "directed at anyone involved in planning and shaping the future of music":

"As a cross-sector network and communication platform, c/o pop brings the protagonists of the creative industries together with companies from the music and entertainment sectors and provides them with a forum for intensive dialogue and exchange."

"The c/o pop Convention programme is dedicated to the far-reaching change that is currently rocking all areas of the creative industries. A conscious decision has been taken to focus on music, but music as a work of art, a cultural asset, a product and a service, content, an add-on, a cross-media tool, an innovation driver and pacemaker in technological and societal development, and, not least, music as a lifestyle and attitude."

It's happening August 13th and 14th in Cologne, German and is part of a larger gathering happening August 12-16. The primary language for panels and workshops is English so don't be scurred, America!
