www.americanradiohistory.com With a new home and a fresh outlook, organizers of the 17th an- nual Popkomm are consolidating its position as Europe's biggest summer music conference. As the trade fair enters the next phase of its new life in Berlin, organizers are confident the revamped Sept. 14 -16 event is well -poised for growth in the German capital. Popkomm 2005 features a revitalized program of events at the Berlin Ex- hibition Grounds, including the second annual Popkomm -IMEA (Innovation in Music and Entertainment) Awards taking place Sept. 14. In addition, Popkomm has secured the support of the music industry in Spain as this year's "partner country." Telecommunications companies, brand names and games people "are all part of the makeup of Popkomm's at- tendance," Popkomm director Katja Bittner says. "We need people who not only create music or work in music as their core business, but also see music as a new chance to develop their own business." The IMEA Awards will honor individual and corporate leaders who are bringing technology solutions to music artists and consumers. Winners receive IMEA 2005 trophies and prizes, including a free booth at next year's conference. "People are starting to realize that technology and music are no longer contrary elements," says ThinkAndLink CEO Gerd Leonhard, who chaired and co- produced the awards. "Labels, producers and artists are now more open to examining the benefits of technology." The Billboard Information Group is the international media partner for Popkomm 2005 and the IMEA Awards. Spain will play the role as guest country to Popkomm, in keeping with a tradition started last year when France was the designated nation. As a result of that program, the French industry had a high profile throughout the show, and more than 50 French acts were represented at concerts and showcases. "We chose Spain because we believe it's a very interesting music market, but it also com- bines a lot of Spanish- speaking markets, including Latin America. In the Berlin area there's a lot of companies that work with Spain," Bittner says. Additionally, Spain's role promises to be a turning point for Spanish artists performing at the event and for the country's music industry overall. Such top Spanish indie acts as Ojos de Brujo, X Alfonso, SFDK, Cycle and the Sunday Drivers will be among those appearing during the event. But the conference also marks the launch of an aggressive alliance between Spain's music industry and cultural export officials within the Spanish gov- ernment. That alliance is certain to grow in coming months with the par- ticipation of Spain's IFPI affiliate, Promusicae. SGAE, the 63,000- member Spanish authors' and publishers' society, will be joined in the pavilion by UFI, the trade organization repre- kS senting Spain's independent labels; ICEX, or the Spanish Foreign Trade Institute, which is part of the in- v IMEA Awards And Focus On Spain Will Highlight Confab In Berlin
