Now entering its second instalment, Turn Up! is a one-day conference offering musicians and music industry professionals from the Sunshine Coast region and surrounding areas insights from leading industry achievers.
“It's a really vibrant time for the Sunshine Coast music scene,” Programme Director Eloise Gallagher says. “Our artists are being recognised for their talent and hard work nationally and internationally and are being strongly supported locally by the Sunshine Coast Council, the TAFE East Coast music programmes, the Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance and the growing number of venues and events booking live original music.
“The Turn Up Conference aims to further support this vibrancy by providing an opportunity for music people on the Coast to connect with leading industry achievers without having to travel outside the region and network with other like-minded souls.”
Sunshine Coast Mayor, Mark Jamieson, and music retailing legend, business book author and motivational speaker, Barry Bull, will be joined by Dennis Dunstan (Front Row Management), who'll present a keynote speech drawing on 35 years of experience managing bands such as Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks and Men At Work. Other speakers include: Jeff Chandler (Gympie Music Muster), Stu Boga Fergie (OKA) and Tyrone Noonan (George).
Turn Up! Sunshine Coast Music Industry Conference takes place at the Nambour Civic Centre 14 October from 3pm.
