We're so proud to present; Ins & Outs; a living room talk series with 18 music industry professionals, over 6 events sharing their stories, and tricks of the trade. These talks are happening fortnightly from August 21st- October the 30th covering a range of topics from recording to releasing music and everything in between.

These panels are for anyone and everyone interested in learning about these topics. Whether you have already released an album or have just written your first song we encourage you to come along, meet some like minded individuals and take away pockets full of delicious info.

Each event is only $10 and will be held from 2-4pm on a Sunday, with a panel of three speakers per event.

The events will start off with a Q&A with either Jemilah Ross-Hayes or Koen Aldershof followed by a Q&A with the audience and finishing with some time to network and connect with the other attendees and ask any further questions of the panelists.
