Sydney industry conference Australian Music Week has opened showcase applications for its 2018 event.
Again taking place in Cronulla from 7-11 November, the conference's fourth edition is already shaping up to be its biggest yet.
"Australian Music Week is unique in that it is still relatively small, which makes it so much easier for artists and industry to genuinely connect, with actual on-the-ground discoveries and new deals happening over the days of the conference," AMW director, Geoff Trio, said.
"As well as bringing in representatives from Australia's leading festivals and organisations, we have brokered powerful partnerships with a number of international events who will come to Australian Music Week to discover acts for launching into markets like North America, Asia and Europe.
"The opportunities are real and so are the great results we're seeing grow year on year."
Australian Music Week showcases over 150 performances, presents more than 20 panels addressing the latest industry issues with leading Australian and international figures and hosts a music film festival and the annual Folk, Americana and Country music conferences.
Artists who have participated in past AMW's include Ruby Fields, Skegss and Hein Cooper, as well as speakers such as Bluesfest director Peter Noble, Gregg Donovan (Wonderlick) and Chloe Goodyear (Woodford Folk Festival).
Showcase applications can be found here, while the first round of delegates and speakers for 2018 are expected to be announced shortly.
