Webinar description:

Hamid Najafi will introduce his gig platform Tuneforte specifically designed by musicians for musicians which uses AI, VR, and other technologies to make streaming a live concert easy, engaging, enjoyable, accessible to all musicians, and above all, profitable. He will discuss its features and benefits to the musicians performing, and the viewers of, online live concerts. The purpose of the platform is to make watching a live music concert online a viable alternative (but not replacement) to attending concerts in person helping musicians and venues to expand their audience and increase revenue. He would love to hear the attendees’ thoughts on how he can make this a better tool for you as a musician.
