Indie-Con Australia

Established in the UK as the first conference of its type to truly address the needs and issues facing self-releasing artists and independent record labels, Indie-Con is now launching in Australia in conjunction with this years 11th AIR Awards (Australian Independent Record Labels Association).
 
The inaugural Indie-Con Australia will be held at Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, Adelaide on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th of July. Offering insights into the latest innovations and technological advancements in products, services and strategies available to the independent music sector, the two-day event will provide invaluable professional development opportunities across leadership and business performance skills,
 
Conference programmer Stu Watters comments 'Indie-Con Australia will feature unrivalled networking opportunities, workshops, panels, presentations and interviews with key industry players. One of the things that makes the independent sector truly appealing is that the business models are all quite diverse and they don't fit a mould, they are cutting their own track along the way and this conference is all about sharing those stories.
 
With subject matters like -Where's My F*cking Money?' And -What The Hell Is Block Chain?', Indie-Con Australia will take a look at what's really important to the independent sector. -State Of The Nations' will review key developments in the copyright environment affecting indies both here and internationally, and explore a diverse range of topics including: safe harbour and why you should give a shit and EU copyright directive – what does that even mean?
 
There'll be an in-depth look into the The Rise Of The Artist Run Label and stories of success and failure whilst analysing independence and what that actually means?
