Manager Buddies

Manager Buddies is an initiative of the Association of Artist Managers, MMF UK, MMF Canada, EMMA (European Music Managers Alliance) and MMF Aotearoa that coincides with select major international music conferences around the world. For each edition of Manager Buddies, members who are attending the relevant conference are invited to submit an expression of interest if they wish to be part of the initiative.

Aimed at building professional connections between managers from different countries, Manager Buddies sees selected managers from these organisations paired up ahead of the conference to:

• Learn more about each others' management work, artists and international territory

• Connect and share their respective goals/aims for the conference they are attending

• Share resources and ideas

  Managers are paired with a manager (or a small group of managers) from another territory based on their goals, interests and/or artist rosters.

  At the end of each conference, participants will be invited to complete a short survey to share feedback on their experience.

Please note places are not guaranteed, and will depend on the number of EOIs we receive and suitable matches available in each round.
