Women in Music Update
We won’t be holding a Women in Music Conference in 2012 but we are making plans to bring it back in 2013. International Women’s Day will happen once again on the 8th March and we are looking to celebrate it with a smaller WiM networking event. Check back closer to the date or subscribe to the newsletter to make sure you are kept up to date with any new developments.
Women in Music a Huge Success
The first ever Women in Music forum was a huge success with nearly 300 young and experienced women attending. We have had a lot of positive feedback in relation to this event and Q Music is considering its options for how to develop the event further. We are currently taking on the feedback of participants and supporters alike to refine the direction and content of an event such as this.
One of the highlights of the event was being able to engage so many local women who are so productive in our industry. To all of those who participated in the delivery of the event thank you very much. This event was also our first attempt at engaging with high school and early tertiary students and this was a great indicator for us of schools interests in connecting with the music industry.
WiM Sells Out
We are very excited to announce that Women in Music 2011 has officially reached capacity and SOLD OUT! We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at the Judith Wright Centre tomorrow.
