2018 SPEAKERS FEEDBACK ON THE GOING GLOBAL SUMMIT
“The Going Global experience was a unique, effective and powerful way to connect with New Zealand’s people, culture and music scene. In terms of productivity and music business relations, it is one of the best conferences and industry gatherings I have attended.”
FABRIZIO ONETTO - OCESA, MEXICO
“Going Global may be known for its future-focused ethos and measurable business outcomes - and these features did not disappoint in 2018 - but for me personally, it was how it showed off the NZ industry that really impressed me. New Zealand has a music industry like no other, where its artists have formed a tight community with each other and the people behind the scenes, regardless of professional ties. The global industry as a whole could learn a lot from NZ and the best way to do that is by attending Going Global.”
Poppy Reid - Managing Editor, Seventh Street Media, AUST
The two-day GOING GLOBAL MUSIC SUMMIT is a gateway for any local artist, manager, publicist, A&R, producer, music writer, record label and venue manager to connect with, question and hear ideas from some of the international music industry's most relevant and forward-thinking superstars. IMNZ is bringing to New Zealand; international booking agents, synch licensors, international media, PR experts, artist managers with international experience and those working for the fast-moving live and digital music platforms.
Independent Music New Zealand (IMNZ) General Manager, Dylan Pellett says “We are really looking forward to this year’s edition building upon the successes of our previous Going Global events in bringing the world to New Zealand to engage and connect with our artists and our local industry. Meeting up in person with many of the industry speakers and building lasting professional relationships is a really exciting and important part of the music industry - it provides the ability to create pathways for artist’s careers that is difficult to achieve from behind a desk.”
Amongst the first round of speakers to be announced is Bekah Zietz Flynn of Sub Pop Records out of Seattle. "I’m extremely excited and honoured to attend this year's Going Global Conference. Sub Pop has a long history of working closely with the music community in New Zealand (Flight of the Conchords, Dead C, The Ruby Suns, The Brunettes) and I’m ecstatic to have the opportunity to further these relationships first hand and see some awesome live shows."
The 2019 GOING GLOBAL MUSIC SUMMIT is thrilled to announce the following representatives and experts in their fields of music A&R, booking, licensing, managing, marketing, promoting and publishing as the first of many international speakers attending the summit:
BEKAH ZIETZ FLYNN (Sub Pop Records - Publicity, International Promotions and A&R, USA), JOHN HALPERIN (The Glass House - Talent Buyer, USA), KIRAN PATEL (A&G Sync - Head of Sync, UK), MIKE SNIPER (Captured Tracks - Founder/CEO, USA), PAUL BRINDLEY (Music Ally, CEO & Co-Founder, UK).
The two-day conference culminates on Saturday night at three of Auckland's most vibrant music venues; Wine Cellar, Backroom and Whammy! Bar. A handpicked New Zealand music festival experience will showcase New Zealand's next big thing to fans, industry, and international tastemakers.
