Matchmaking Sessions

Our matchmaking programme is one of the most important the conference has to offer. These 1-on-1, 10-minute talks allow composers, programmers, agents, musicians, and other professionals to gain knowledge, be inspired and/or expand their network. The Matchmaking Sessions will return at New Music Conference 2025.

Applications for the Matchmaking Sessions via the website are closed. Deadline to apply was November 9.
Missed the pre-registration via the website? You can always head over to the Clubzaal at 10:00h to see if there are some free spots available.
