Glenn Wheatley, a 50-year music industry veteran, has been announced today as the keynote speaker at Turn Up 2017 Sunshine Coast Music Industry Conference.
Now in its fourth year, Turn Up is fast becoming Queensland’s premier regional music industry conference. And the addition of Glenn Wheatley as the keynote speaker adds to an already impressive line-up of speakers including Bill Hauritz from Woodford Folk Festival and Ted Gardner who has managed Tool and Jane's Addiction.
Glenn's keynote will focus on how to turn up 'your' volume in the new music business; five tips for emerging and established artists wanting to take their careers to the next level.
