The Conference
The purpose of MusicConnex is to facilitate and encourage artists to take control of their career and help empower them to liberate their dreams. We aim to encourage the sharing of ideas, insight and experience to inspire each other by facilitating debate around the issues facing young and established artists alike.
The idea is to create conversation and show by example amongst industry professionals and artists, as well as artist to artist, in order to get people interacting, celebrating successes and looking positively at the opportunities this new world provides.
The event takes the form of a 3 day conference incorporating panels, seminars, workshops and exhibitors, with additional evening showcase gigs. This provides the chance for aspiring Artists to learn about emerging digital platforms from industry professionals who create and use them, as well as from more established Artists who have employed these digital platforms to increase their profile and capitalize on it.
Similarly, experienced Artists and professionals will have the opportunity to learn from emerging talent, and, we hope, benefit from what they have to offer. Furthermore, those coming from the digital world have an unparalleled opportunity to network, promote their product and better understand their markets’ needs.
The focus of this event is on optimism and embracing change, concentrating on the varied and enterprising wealth of opportunity available to present day artists. A new culture of self-motivated, enterprising, creative and innovative music professionals is emerging. MusicConnex wants to help facilitate, inspire and empower them to realise their ambitions and dreams.
