I am
researching organizations to join, events and groups to help me with networking
and which events or groups I could join to help me in the future.
Megaphono started in Ottawa and it is a
festival and organization that helps musicians in the local area. This year was
their first festival and they showcased many of their artists some also
performed at Canadian Music Week. Megaphono is run buy John Bartlett and Leslie
Marshall who own Kelp Records.
The Music Business Network started by a
student getting her M.A in Music Business at Steinhardt School of Culture,
Education, & Human Development. It was set up to help students get more
music business networking opportunities. Even though it is in USA there are
other countries that hold networking events and some networking is done through
their website which you can become a member.
Toronto Music Industry Meetup is a group
that meets weekly of musicians, label owners, bookers, publicists, mixers,
engineers and bloggers. They meet up to share their knowledge of the music
industry and how they can change or strengthen it. I found this group
interesting and very important as I want to move to Toronto and it will help me
find work in the music industry there.
Oimc is an event that was on the previous
weekend and it was the first OIMC and they hope to continue it in the future.
It is a platform for electronic and live music for audiences, venues and
artists to connect. They started the OIMC to share knowledge and help grow the
music industry in the capital of Canada. They hold events, seminars, workshops,
panels and parties and spans over three nights and two days of convention
functions.
