Sónar+D, the evolution of the professional and new media areas at the festival (presented in collaboration with the Mobile World Capital), unveils its first offering. Sónar+D brings creativity, technology, mobility, innovation and business to public and professionals alike and serves as an open lab bringing together activities and projects that take a playful and experimental character, anticipating today's transforming languages and tools of an international level. 

Sónar+D will occupy four floors of the Palau de Congressos in Barcelona, ??with the majority of activities open to the public and a series of closed networking sessions and discussions aimed at accredited professionals only. Sónar+D coexists at Sónar by Day, with SonarCinema and the SonarComplex stage in the grand auditorium. 

Sónar+D Partnerships: Berklee College of Music, New Radiophonic Workshop, UPF/MTG...
Sónar+D has created partnerships with companies and iconic brands. One of these is Berklee College of Music, which will present a Master in musical innovation and also the Rethink workshop, aimed at analyzing new business models in the music industry. Also featured are the New Radiophonic Workshop (under the artistic direction of Matthew Herbert), a research laboratory for creating sound effects and the Bridges For Music Project, developed in South Africa for the social integration through music of disadvantaged communities.

Sónar+D will pay special attention to the educational and research area, with the participation of organizations like the UPF, through to the Music Technology Group, which is organizing the fourth edition of the Music Hack Day, which this year focuses on neuroscience and will have 100 participant hackers working 24 hours straight. 

Beardyman, Herrmutt Lobby and the Barcelona Laptop Orchestra at Sónar+D shows
Sónar+D of course, draws on the talent of the Sónar music line up and includes three concerts from Beardyman, Herrmutt Lobby and the Barcelona Laptop Orchestra. Sónar+D highlights these concerts for their technological relevance and the use of mobile devices in their development and implementation.

The visual artists, presented in the Interactive Forum
The "creative coding" and postdigital experimentation stage will have an Interactive forum and allow a space to discover the creators and programmers behind this visual culture. Passing through (among others) will be Berlin visual studio Pfadfinderei (regular accomplices of Modeselektor and Paul Kalkbrener) and Barcelona's Mr Doob (collaborator of Google Data Arts Team).

Companies and entrepreneurs, Sónar+D's protagonists
Companies and entrepreneurs from creative industries will be able to showcase products, services and projects in the new Market Place space. There will be practical demos at Hands On Area, an area which will have its own stage, Meet The Expert to schedule meetings with experts and the App Bar to discover apps and get to know his developers.
