Description
The future of the music industry starts here.

Join us at the Aerial Function Centre @ UTS in Central Sydney for two jam-packed days of ground-breaking keynotes, panel discussions, specialist 'FastFifteen' mini-keynote presentations, cutting-edge tech demos, and intimate networking opportunities with delegates and speakers from across the music, media, technology, and entertainment sectors.
