How do you get your music out there globally? Ronnie Gurr recommends five international conferences and showcases.
Europe's main conference and showcase festival focusing on live European music. Eurosonic Noorderslag is the key exchange and networking platform for European music, with a proven track record for helping new acts break into the international music scene. Selling out each year, it presents showcases by more than 300 artists and a conference programme featuring panels, keynote speakers, interviews, workshops, dinners, pitches, parties and meetings on the latest developments in the international music, media and interactive industry.
Brings together the music industry's influencers and decision makers from across the globe. As one of the key events in the global music industry calendar, it offers an opportunity for British music companies to build on their reputation for innovation and creativity with potential partners in markets worldwide. AIM, BPI, MPA, PPL, PRS for Music and UKTI all join forces to host the British Music stand at Midem within the event’s Trade Fair. They are all on hand to assist UK music companies in attendance at the event.
The leading world music convention, playing host to music makers from all over the globe. This international fair brings together professionals from the worlds of folk, roots, jazz, hip hop, ethnic and traditional music and also includes concerts, conferences and documentary films. It plays an integral part in developing a platform for UK artists looking to break into international markets and also creates links between international artists and producers with venues and festivals in the UK.
Offers the unique convergence of original music, independent films and emerging technologies. By day, conference registrants do business in the SXSW Trade Show in the Austin Convention Centre, partaking in a full agenda of informative, provocative panel discussions featuring hundreds of speakers of international stature.
One of the world's premier music, media and technology conferences, it hosts its annual event in Los Angeles in April each year.

The A&R EXPO is open to writers, producers, publishing and A&R executives and creative content companies on a first-come basis.
