UnConvention is a not-for-profit grassroots led music conference for D.I.Y. and independent promoters, labels, entrepreneurs, writers, technologists, innovators and artists. UnConvention Brisbane will bring together some of independent music’s most innovative thinkers to discuss the future of the music industry and strategies for building up our local scene.

Held 12-13 June 2010 at The Edge in Brisbane’s South Bank precinct, the weekend event will be comprised of panel discussions and networking events focused around creating sustainable careers within the music industry.

Over 30 key participants from the local independent music scene will appear as guest speakers, including Andrew Stafford (author of Pig City), Paul Curtis (Regurgitator manager / Valve Records founder), Graham Ashton (BIGSOUND executive programmer) and Kellie Lloyd
(Screamfeeder bassist and vocalist / Q Music project officer).

The goal of UnConvention is to bring together like-minded individuals to discuss the future of Independent music and how it will develop and flourish in the technological age. UnConvention isn’t concerned with discovering rock-stars, but instead building and enabling a community of practitioners who want to work in and around music.

UnConvention doesn’t believe in ‘do it yourself’. We believe in ‘do it together’.
