Moving to 100 per cent virtual and 100 per cent free in 2020, BIGSOUND is getting ready to go live in living rooms, on laptop screens, and in office spaces.
It's a stacked programme of keynote presentations, panels, workshops, performances and parties (check out the initial announcement here).
"BIGSOUND 2020 will entertain and inform, but at its core, it is a platform for us to connect and share an experience that we have grown to mark our years by," BIGSOUND Conference Programmer Tom Larkin says.
"This year we hope to provide an opportunity to explore not only the many challenges we have faced as an industry together but also what is on the horizon, how we could make the best of that knowledge, and a chance to reflect with those who have defined our business to this point and how we might reshape it for the better."
Before it all launches though, organisers have sprinkled a few new updates among the line-up of events which will help to elevate the festival to an even higher level!
