2011 Official NZ Music Month Summit

Saturday 28th May
Auckland Museum Auditorium, Domain Dr, Parnell
10am to 4.30pm
Free entry, open to the public
After the outstanding success of last year’s inaugural one day NZ Music Month Summit, the NZ Music Commission, NZ Music Managers Forum and IMNZ are proud to present the Summit’s return this year.

Artists, managers, self-managed artists and anyone with an interest in music are invited to attend a series of seminars around the theme How To Make Money In Music. The five seminars cover such subjects as how to make money from selling your music (when everyone seems to be downloading it), touring and merchandise, songwriting (with special guest Jon Toogood) and international markets – spotlight on Australia.

With experienced executives from record companies, music festivals, booking agents and publishers teamed with prestigious songwriters and international guests, this seminar series is an essential date on your NZ Music Month calendar if you are serious about your music career.
