You know that we love emphasising the importance of networking in the music industry. As well as educating our members with key music industry tips. This is why we created a list of all the music conferences that we went to in 2019!
We Networked Our Socks Off!
There are a vast array of music industry events taking place all over the world. These cover a variety of sectors, with networking events for musicians and industry professionals alike. If you’re feeling you need a breakthrough, this could be a massive boost to your music career.
These events are also great networking opportunities where you can exchange a few business cards. There’s nothing better than meeting people face to face who are at the top of their game!
Whether you’re in a band and working a day job, or simply looking to grow your skill-set, an event like these could make all the difference. More knowledge will only aid your endeavours and could open your mind to new possibilities. It’s also rare you’ll have another opportunity to hear first-hand from high-profile trailblazers in the music world. Plus the potential opportunities that can come out of these music networking sites are endless.
Increase your chances of success by looking for events near you, a single day could be invaluable to your career. Check out our events list below and note them down! While yes, this was from our very busy 2019 itinerary, most of the conferences are annual and so you can easily check out when they are happening next.
If you want to brush up on your social networking, here are some networking tips to get ready for these events.
