DAY TWO: CREATORS & WOMXN IN MUSIC-TECH 1/28/2021
1:00pm ET Topic: Women in Electronic Music: A Global Conversation
Description: Building a career in music as a woman is one thing, but specifically building a career in the electronic music industry is another. In this conversation with voices from across the globe, we’ll discuss why there are so few women in electronic music and how these trailblazers crafted their career journey. We’ll dig into how the electronic industry has been forced to shift in 2020, the importance of cultivating professional relationships, how to advocate for yourself, and how to make strategic career moves and decisions that allow you to stand out. While these ladies sit in different corners of the world, we’ll find that a lot of the same challenges prevail regardless of your geography and explore ways to overcome them, together.
