Less than 45 tickets left for inaugural FastForward conference in Sydney
Beth Appleton of Warner Music Australia, Scott Ryan of Gracenote Nielsen, (USA), Nathan Thomson of Live Nation Australia, The O2’s Head of Marketing Emily Scoggins, and Tim Kelly, the former MD at Inertia Music are among 48 speakers locked in for FastForward: Sydney.
Following its annual runs in Amsterdam and London, the inaugural Sydney staging of the two-day conference debuts April 12 and 13, featuring seven panels, five keynotes and seventeen ‘FastFifteen’ sessions – oh and APRA AMCOS are buying the beers after Day 1.
With an event capacity of 180 people – and under 45 tickets left – FastForward: Sydney allows for deeper, more meaningful networking. Its panels cover the industry’s most pertinent issues: copyright, metadata, discovery, future release strategies, and building audiences.
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster here, with delegate passes on sale at $235+GST expiring on April 2.
