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.

One of the most important elements of BIGSOUND is contributing to gender discussions in the music industry and creating a safe platform for this community of progressive thinkers to grow.
