The current count of accepted music conference sessions for SXSW 2014 is over 120 with more news on the way. It's a pretty interesting mix that reflects an industry undergoing great change with some established practices adapting well, new approaches emerging and making money the order of the day. Here's the complete list to date. Given that many of these are panels, the presenters alone could gather for a rich music conference.
SXSW has a dedicated page for their Music Conference Sessions. Note that the descriptive text stating that there are 85 sessions was taken from their first announcement and hasn't been updated. The second announcement added over 40 to the list and promised "more Featured Speaker, mentors, meetups, and panels announcements in the coming weeks."
