About

Designed to assist early-mid career managers build skills and expand their knowledge of the contemporary music landscape, the AAM’s 2023 NSW Managers Roundtable incorporates group activities & discussion, networking and peer-to-peer learning, specific to the field of artist management and unique to the needs of participants’ artist rosters.

The program will bring together 5 selected early-mid career NSW artist managers with 5 established NSW managers for an intensive, in-person 5-hour workshop on Tuesday February 21 at APRA AMCOS in Sydney/Eora. This will be followed by 2 x one-on-one 1 hour mentoring sessions, whereby each early-mid career manager participant will be paired with an established manager mentor. The 2 sessions will take place over 2 months - in-person or virtually - as pairs prefer. 

Prior to the workshop day and mentoring sessions, AAM Chair and workshop facilitator Greg Carey (Grow Yourself Up, Ripple Effect) will also connect with each participant for a 20 min preliminary chat/Zoom. This will act as an opportunity for participants to share where they're currently at in their careers, what they’re seeking from the roundtable. These chats will help inform topics and conversations for the roundtable workshopping day.

The AAM will set up a closed Facebook Group for program participants, where they’ll have the opportunity to stay connected and share resources throughout the program. 

At the end of the 2 month mentoring period, all participants and mentors will be invited to join a short virtual Closing Group Session, where they’ll have the opportunity to report back on any progress / outcomes, revisit any topics / ideas discussed on the original workshop day, and provide feedback on their experience in the program. Participating mentors and mentees will be asked to complete a short feedback survey upon completion of the program.

The Association of Artist Manager’s 2023 NSW Managers Roundtable is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
