Industry is guaranteed to be in the room. Industry professionals from fields ranging from A&R, booking, labels, legal, management, press, and production are on board to determine which European band is the "best of the fest." The top act from every night, as decided discreetly by the judges, performs again at Indie Week's Closing Party where dedicated judges determine who will be going to Toronto in the fall of 2013 for Indie Week Canada, the TENTH anniversary celebration, complete with free flights and accommodation for up to 5 band members (band members ONLY!).
