More than 2,000 guests turn up in a regular year for the event, which creates an umbrella conference featuring complementary tracks of music, sports, gaming, marketing, digital, Web3, and arts, all under one roof.

Widely considered the most important music conference in Asia, All That Matters will once again be held at the Singapore Hilton Orchard from Sept. 11-13.

Confirmed speakers in the first round include reps from FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, Napster, The Raine Group, Microsoft, NODWIN Gaming, VSPO, Coca-Cola, Activision Blizzard, Mastercard, Animoca Brands, SoundCloud, Asia Sports Tech, World Federation of Advertisers, Enjinstarter and more.

The 2022 edition featured guest speakers Universal Music Group Lucian Grainge; Spotify’s global head of editorial Sulinna Ong; TikTok’s global head of music Ole Obermann; and Adam Wilkes, president, AEG Presents Asia Pacific, among others.

Earlier this year, the Singapore subsidiary of Nodwin acquired a 51% stake in Branded, bringing the confab and showcase event into the Nodwin Gaming family.
