Conference: Music Markets and The Global Community
There are a growing number of new music markets across the world that focus on servicing the region around them, creating a wider reach for business, performance and collaborative works. Beyond the opportunities, these music markets are linked more closely with the local community, encouraging tourism and creating direct economic impact. They also support the arts as non-political springboards for free artistic expression, leading to deeper understanding of cultural diversity. The panelists speak about their markets, and what they feel is the industry’s role in the larger global community.

Conference: New Approaches to Music Education
There is widespread agreement that entrepreneurial skills are crucial for musicians today. Formal music education is not necessarily well equipped to deal with the constantly changing landscape of the industry. Four diverse institutions explore formal and non-formal approaches to address the growing gap between formal music curricula and the knowledge and skills required by the professional industry. The approaches recognise the importance of youth and community, and look to provide authentic, real-world learning such as student-run enterprise, industry partnerships and community engagement. The panel share practice, ideas and experiences that will influence the perspectives and skills of young musicians and in turn, the future music industry.

Conference: Media and The Arts: Finding An Honest Voice
This conference discusses the voice of the critic and the role the Media plays in the growth of a city’s art, music and cinema culture. Panelists discuss how heads of content decide which events receive coverage, and what role readership value plays when determining whether or not to feature offbeat, interesting content. The panel also discusses the importance of an honest voice in the context of arts journalism in India - informed critiques that can be harsh, but often lead to the growth of an artist and quality of content as a whole. A good arts journalist possesses the power to shape the growth of a city’s culture - this panel discusses how.
