November 7, 2007June 18, 2015admin

What do you know of Pandora Radio? Do you have questions about this innovative radio’s creation or functionality? Then come ask Tim Westergren founder of Pandora Radio at this event.

Tim Westergren, Founder

Meet, hear and speak openly with Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora – “a new kind of radio — stations that play only music you like.” Pandora celebrates “insatiable curiosity” by helping you find and discover new music you will love. Pandora is powered by the Music Genome Project — “a crazy project to capture the complex musical DNA of songs”. Pandora is hugely popular at 8 million listeners and counting. Still, like many innovations, Pandora struggles to hit upon just the right business model to sustain its mission.

Tim’s inviting style is a great fit for our interactive gatherings: “Ask any questions you have about the company. The more we can talk to each other, the better.” So bring your thoughts, questions, ideas — and also your best wishes for Pandora, for “at the bottom of Pandora’s Box was Hope”.
