Avoid the scrum for early bird One Dayer tickets!
Early bird tickets for ‘The One Dayer: Finance, Technology & the Future of Independent Music’ are now on sale! But not for long.
Our first Joining the Dots conference is at the historic Cecil Sharp House in London on Friday 12th September. The One Dayer is for anyone who works in or with the independent music sector – folk, jazz, contemporary music, indie, whatever your bent – is curious about what the future holds and wants to get a head start on where things are headed.
Early Bird tickets are on sale now for just £30, less than a fiver for every jam packed hour.
Book your Early Bird ticket here.
The One Dayer is all about looking to the future and making sure as many of us in independent music as possible are as ready for – and part of – the change that’s coming. Our top drawer list of speakers and panelists includes artists, promoters, managers, agents, journalists and broadcasters, music lawyers and games and app developers as well as our four Joining the Dots winners
