With the support of Queenscliff Music Festival through a Music Industry Kickstarter Grant, Industry Insights is an inclusive all ages music industry panel and networking event, designed to unite music players and participants from all levels and ages to learn about the cogs of the music industry.

Split into two components, a panel session and networking, Industry Insights allows participants to learn from industry experts, ask questions, build-real world connections and simply relish in the respectful space where community is key.

For the panel session, Goodwin and Chester have enlisted a dynamic panel of industry powerhouses to offer various perspectives on building careers in the music industry. Chrissie Vincent joins the panel to offer per publicity and management perspective, Bridie Coughlin offers an in-depth insight into bookings, events and design, Hassall represents the artist perspective, and Zac Barter adds to this as both an artist and producer.

Geelong Music Network and Industry Insights are creating a stronger, more connected music community, one that values education, collaboration, and shared passion for music at every stage. This event is yet another way that Geelong Music Network is contributing to the Geelong music ecology. Their regular networking events have been a hit with locals and the music network ties are getting stronger and stronger.

Whilst the session is free to attend and open to all-ages, those under the age of 12 will require a legal guardian to be present.
