At the end of the event, the applications developed will be presented to the public.

The music hack days are a reflection of the great creativity and innovative spirit that abounds in the tech community when it comes to music. They offer a glimpse into the music industry’s future, and the success of midem hack day 2011 illustrated this. Ten apps were invented, including the SoundCloud site Takes Questions, which went on sale shortly after midem. Emerging from the encounter between singer/songwriter Imogen Heap and developers, Takes Questions is a response to artists’ wishes to communicate directly with their fans.
