Accomplishments

Featured on SF Weekly

Thanks to SF Intercom, an under-hyped resource for would-be local darlings concerned with the ins and outs of booking, promotion, groupie love, and proper techniques for mounting framed platinum records on drywall. Well, some of those things.

Featured on Hypebot

SF Music Tech has become known as a great place for music tech companies to debut, launch new products and network with their peers and potential funding sources. Stefan of SF Intercom created a whitebord style hand drawn representation of the elevator pitched of the startup presented in Brian Zisk's Elevator Pitch panel.

Featured on Boing Boing

Long time friend of Boing Boing Brian Zisk throws the SF MusicTech Summit, the conference at the convergence of Internet Music and Technology. SF Intercom Creator Stefan Aronsen creates awesome live sketches of the panels he attends, and finally created a video of how he does it.
