More than 200 leading music and mobile industry leaders scheduled

to converge for a one-day executive retreat focusing on the

$3 billion global mobile music market

Consect and Wicked Wireless announce the Miami Mobile Music Conference, a one-day executive retreat that will bring together more than 200 music and mobile leaders on Nov. 14, 2003, at the Beach House Bal Harbour in Miami Beach, Fla.

Keynoters for the event include Matthew Knowles, chief executive officer of World Music Entertainment; Thomas Dolby, president of Retro Ringtones and music artist; and Ted Cohen, senior vice president of digital development and distribution for EMI.

Representing a three billion dollar industry worldwide -- from ringtones to wallpaper, karaokes, remixers, fan clubs, communities, artist-branded content and co-promotional efforts with major artists, labels and brands -- music-based mobile entertainment represents one of the most promising new revenue and promotional opportunities for the music industry since the advent of the compact disk. With ringtone sales in the United States outpacing singles sales, music-based mobile content and services are a significant, growing new profit center across all sectors of the mobile music industry, including carriers, publishers, labels, handset manufacturers, artists' management, musicians and technologists.
