With over 30 new speakers and panellists announced today the 2019 conference is arguably the biggest and best offering to local industry in recent times.

Lauded musician, singer and now actor, Aotearoa’s own Marlon Williams will be interviewed live on stage about the transcendent rise of his career and last album, Make Way For Love.

Summit attendees will be involved in discussions including panel focus on breaking into the US, UK and Australian markets, looking at how to get to new markets for NZ music including China and South America and the strength of independent labels, who now represent 39.9% of global recorded music. Crucial information will be delivered on how to get on the bill of international festivals, the new age of how to promote your music, and the oft-asked question “How do I get my song on a playlist?”. Alongside blow by blow advice on how to apply for funding and rights as a songwriter, an all-important discussion ‘No Ceilings, No Glass’ examining the readdressing of parity for women and non-gender conforming artists across the music business; there will be networking opportunities with the speakers near the close of the summit on Saturday afternoon.

2018 SPEAKERS FEEDBACK ON THE GOING GLOBAL SUMMIT
“The Going Global experience was a unique, effective and powerful way to connect with New Zealand’s people, culture and music scene. In terms of productivity and music business relations, it is one of the best conferences and industry gatherings I have attended.”
FABRIZIO ONETTO – OCESA, MEXICO
“Going Global may be known for its future-focused ethos and measurable business outcomes – and these features did not disappoint in 2018 – but for me personally, it was how it showed off the NZ industry that really impressed me. New Zealand has a music industry like no other, where its artists have formed a tight community with each other and the people behind the scenes, regardless of professional ties. The global industry as a whole could learn a lot from NZ and the best way to do that is by attending Going Global.”
Poppy Reid – Managing Editor, Seventh Street Media, AUST
