Australian Music Week returns to Cronulla for its second year in 2016, brining an expertly curated conference line up to the Sydney beach hub for a week of live shows and industry sessions!
From November 2nd through November 4th, the summit will be providing musicians from all genres the opportunities to perform in front of a wide range of industry executives and recording professionals, as well as network and meet identities who can help further their careers.
Today, AMW have unveiled their first round of speakers and delegates for the 2016 event who will be partaking in the program’s master classes and panel sessions. Headed up by Jed Hilly of the Americana Music Association, the list of names confirmed for AMW this year is representative of talent from all corners of the industry.
Australian Music Week has also announced its partnership with the East Coast Music Association (ECMA), the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) and BreakOut West for the 2016 event, which will be bringing the popular ‘Canadian Blast’ event to AMW this year. The Showcase Scotland Expo will also be a presence at AMW this year, while MusicNSW has also been announced as a special featured organisation at the conference.
