INTERVIEW WITH JASPER DONAT, CEO OF BRANDED

With 2,000 delegates and 252 speakers covering Music, Sports, Gaming, Digital, Marketing and Web3, All That Matters (ATM) 2022 was the biggest ATM yet. Held across three days and six nights, 38 artists came from 12 countries to perform to thousands of fans at Music Matters LIVE.

Celebrating its 18th edition in 2023, ATM is looking to stage another sensational event from 11 to 13 September at the Hilton Singapore Orchard.

Jasper Donat, Co-Founder and CEO of ATM producer, Branded, explained to ASN what ATM is all about.

ASN: What is ATM all about?

JASPER DONAT: All That Matters is APAC’s premiere ‘Business 2 Business 2 Fan’ event experience and the gateway to Asia’s Music, Sports, Gaming, Digital, Marketing, Web3 and Entertainment industries.

A conference by day and music festival by night, attendees have the opportunity to rub shoulders with global brands and engage in discussions about the industry's hottest topics across three days of non-stop networking and six nights of great music.

ASN: What’s special about ATM 2023?

JASPER DONAT: In 2023, ATM is coming of age with a spectacular speaker lineup. Committed to our SIX conference tracks (Web3, Music, Sports, Gaming, Digital and Marketing), we continue to delve deep into each industry's core and what truly matters within it. It’s hard to overlook the riveting impact of AI, brand partnerships, the online creator economy, Web3 and many more transformative forces which are shaping our industry faster than ever.

This year, we are bringing together the brightest minds in our six content rich tracks, as well as ‘Learning Matters Academy’, multiple networking events and live music every night. Our goal is to connect, inform, inspire and spark vital conversations among industry leaders, empowering them to shape the future of their industries and the world at large.

And it’s the perfect way to kick off the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix week.

ASN: Who attends ATM 2023?

JASPER DONAT: Anyone who’s anyone! We’re expecting to attract over 2,000 senior executives this year. As the region’s longest running and the premiere ‘Business 2 Business 2 Fan’ event, #ATM23 brings together world class speakers.

Our goal is to connect, inform, inspire and spark vital conversations among industry leaders, empowering them to shape the future of their industries and the world at large.

ASN: What about Music Matters Live and Learning Matters Live? How do they fit in?

JASPER DONAT: Showcasing some of the best emerging acts from Asia Pacific and around the world, Music Matters will feature 30 artists from 15 countries. It serves as a global platform representing the APAC music industry and opening doors for talented artists seeking to make a mark in the world's most populated region.

Aiming to foster the next generation of music and sport industry leaders, Learning Matters has two tracks: Music Matters Academy and Sport Matters Academy.

ATM’s experienced speakers and industry leaders will take part in educational and inspirational sessions, which are free to attend for students and those aspiring to enter the music and sport industries.

ASN: Can you share some of the key highlights we can expect from ATM 2023?
