TESTIMONIALS:
“…a real bonus for our local music community” – Murray Cammick, Rip It Up (NZ)
“Going Global was a top-notch experience, from both a professional and personal standpoint. The other delegates were
absolutely spectacular, offering not just a substantive look into various facets of the industry, but also the
opportunity to forge business relationships and friendships I'll carry throughout the rest of my life. The conference
was extremely well-organized, right down to the evening showcases, which were a perfect representation of the wide range
of exceptional talent coming out of this beautiful, energetic, and creative country. In fact, I'm now working with two
artists who performed during last year's showcases - Mel Parsons and Tom Lark!” – Shawnté Salabert, VP Creative –
