Face the Music 2010

MEDIA RELEASE COURTESY OF: The Push

Early bird registrations for the third annual Face The Music Conference open now!

The two day Melbourne music conference and industry summit, presented by Victorian music organisation, The Push, returns to the Arts Centre, Friday 19 – Saturday 20 November.

Face The Music Conference provides the Victorian and Australian music community with a platform for professional and creative career development and networking opportunities.

With the first two years of the event selling out, The Push’s Face The Music Project Manager Andrew Kitchen says: “As Victoria’s only music industry conference we are excited to be able to help keep Melbourne on the Australian music industry map. This year we have expanded our capacity by another 25% - offering an additional 100 delegates places, as well as increasing from one to two days; plus with tickets ranging from $45-$80, the event still remains extremely affordable.”

Face The Music will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, one-on-one artist development interviews, networking sessions, music showcases and practical workshops.

Sessions will explore stagecraft and songwriting, international festival opportunities, booking agents, independent releases and labels, funding models, new and evolving business models, distribution and publishing and much more.

This non-profit event will feature contributions from a host of music businesses and media and music organisations. Artists, booking agents, publishers, record label directors, music lawyers, publicists and artist managers will all be generously sharing their time and experience.

No matter what level or stage of a career, Face The Music 2010 will provide artists and music industry workers with the relevant information and tools to take them to the next level!
