This year BIGSOUND introduces Hook-Ups; small-group networking activities that will take place throughout Wednesday at IMA Courtyard. Facilitated by members of the BIGSOUND team, these sessions are an opportunity for like-minded artists and industry workers to come together to meet new people, share ideas and discuss what’s new in their field. Anyone at any level of experience in these topics are encouraged to attend and contribute or simply take in the abundance of information.

If you specialise in a particular genre, here is a place to expand your network with other people in that field. Specialists are invited to attend from genres such as heavy, hip hop, electronic, country, roots and everything in between.
