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.

This year there are more representatives from the live sector than ever before. Conference speakers range from agents to promoters to venue bookers and more. As this is one of the most important money-makers for artists in their careers, this is the perfect opportunity for delegates of any area to converge and discuss production, bookings, touring strategy, festivals and more.
