Having made great strides in the last few years, the West Australian Music Conference has become one of the must-attend events for Australian music industry members, drawing everyone from musicians and producers to managers, students, bookers, fans, and more.

This year, the newly named WAMCon will be raising the stakes even further, debuting a new format with new names and unveiling an absolutely jam-packed first round speakers lineup, as well as Friday showcases and Parlour Sunday Best.

Thanks to the support of the Perth Theatre Trust, this year’s WAM Conference will be held at the State Theatre Centre of WA, utilising state of the art facilities in The Studio Underground, Foyer, and additional rooms.

It will be the perfect environment for audiences to engage with the all-star cast of leading music industry professionals from Australia and beyond, who’ll be the subjects of captivating panel sessions, one-on-one meetings, and networking sessions.

This year will see appearances from the likes of triple j alumni like Dom Alessio (Presenter, Home & Hosed) and triple j Unearthed director Dave Ruby Howe, as well as The Drones frontman Gareth Liddiard, and LISTEN founder Evelyn Morris.
