The Management Workshop is a one-stop shop for practical strategies to manage artists in the establishment phase of their career. Now in it's seventh year, the workshop has hosted some of Australia’s leading emerging managers. The Management Workshop provides a platform for strategic advice and ways to enhance opportunities for bands and solo artists forging pathways in the music industry.
In a creative industry where is no set path, the most effective way to learn is by sharing knowledge and seeking out those who have gone before. Providing access to an unrivalled list of industry experts from managers to publishers, lawyers, publicists, promoters and media representatives, the Management Workshop provides an opportunity for managers to come face to face with leaders in their field.
Applications will be accepted from managers, self managed solo musicians or band members who are managing their own band. The Seed will provide and arrange transport, accommodation and meals for all successful applicants. Should you be successful all you need to do is get yourself to your closest major airport.
"The Seed Workshop was an amazing and enlightening experience. To have the opportunity to be surrounded by such talented industry professionals and like-minded peers was a very special and unique opportunity. The impact it has had on my career is immeasurable. I have drawn on the information and skills learned on a daily basis since. I cannot recommend it more highly." Laura Wallbridge, Manager - Gossling
“Can't pump The Seed up enough! The program, the incredible quality and quantity of speakers, the great one on one access to everyone involved and the relationships forged with other managers nationally; all great.
