Creative Republic invites you to join them at 6.30pm on 30th March to hear direct from those who went to Texas as part of the city’s SXSW Music delegation.
Now in its 23rd year, SXSW Music has grown from a tiny music festival in Texas to an essential event on the music industry calendar. It’s four hyperactive days of making connections for musicians, recording companies and every other business touching on music, from concert bookers to copyright lawyers, publishers to social media types. Creative Republic thought this would be an ideal opportunity to find out what the Birmingham team’s experiences were and what they’ve learned.
As the dust settles on the old way of doing things for the music industry, has SXSW shone some light on a new model?
They have lined up Kerry Thomas and Dave O’Coy from Fused and Lisa Meyer and Jenny Moore from Capsule, amongst others who are ready to be quizzed. Leading the quizzing will be Andrew Dubber and John Mostyn.
So you might want to ask them a question or two as well. Timings for the event are:
- 6.30pm Arrival; cash bar available
- 7-8pm Panel discussion and questions
- 8-9pm Networking and event close.
There is no charge for attending but they do ask for you to sign the Creative Republic Charter, and to RSVP. A map and directions for the venue can be found at www.creativerepublic.org.uk.
