Would you rather have 10 more Instagram followers or 10 more people you can call business friends? It's often said that building a network in the music industry is important, but just how can you do that and why is it so important to focus on creating lasting relationships? In this session, you'll hear how making authentic connections is crucial to the success of an entrepreneur, songwriter, label project manager, and artist manager and you'll leave with ideas and ways you can build community to take your career to the next level.


This session is part of our Career Development Workshops 
Calling all students, young professionals, aspiring entrepreneurs, and those looking for their big break in the industry! Educating and inspiring the next generation of music business executives is a major part of Music Biz’s commitment to the industry, and we’re excited to embody that commitment at this year’s Conference. Our Career Development Workshops will guide you on a path for long-term success in sessions led by those who have already tread on that path.
