ANNOUNCING THE GUEST SPEAKERS FOR
ELEVATE 2024

With support from NZ On Air, the Music Managers Forum Aotearoa is excited to announce an outstanding lineup of guest speakers for Elevate 2024, our first-ever in-person professional development workshop for mid-career music managers and self-managing artists.

This two-day event will connect delegates with renowned industry leaders representing award-winning artists and producers, including Tash Sultana, Joel Little, Montell 2099, Tami Neilson, David Dallas, and more.

Across the two days at Big Fan in Tāmaki Makaurau, we will be joined by: Kristie McCarthy, Ashley Page, Dan Woolston, Pippa Ryan-Kidd, Ryan Hobbs, Fenella Stratton, Mikee Carpinter, Joel Tashkoff, Callum August and Ant Healey. Together, they’ll share insights into the heart of the music business—covering essential topics such as negotiation, contract management, and navigating the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

MMF Aotearoa Chair Cushla Aston says, “Elevate 2024 is more than a workshop; it’s about building a strong, connected community of those in music management here in Aotearoa. We’re bringing together a fantastic lineup of speakers who understand the business of music and bring real-world insights. This is a chance for managers to connect on a practical level, tackle the challenges we all face, and leave with tools and perspectives that will genuinely support their careers moving forward.”
