Sound Industry Conference at Colston Hall in Bristol on 30 March 2017
The Sound Industry Conference will take place at Colston Hall in Bristol on Thursday 30 March 2017
Too often, the music industry as a whole can feel like it is directed at – and run by – a very narrow demographic of people; Sound Industry’s mission is to represent something more diverse. Hosted by Bristol Women In Music, the conference program has been curated to offer a platform for lively debate and fresh ideas that will equip and challenge both men and women. In addition to examining the business side of careers in music, Sound Industry will be looking at the profession from a human perspective, with a unique spotlight on issues of musical diversity, equality, wellbeing and politics. The day will also include live performances and opportunities for networking. As well as those already working in music professionally, Sound Industry welcomes students and individuals aspiring to a career in the music industry.
