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. More information about the professionals and when to register will follow.
