Songwriters conference to return next year

The Australian Songwriters Conference will be held in Ettalong again on the June long weekend next year.

The 2017 event will be expanded to five days from Thursday, June 8, to Monday, June 12, at Ettalong Beach Tourist Resort, according to conference organiser, Ms Lisa Butler.

The conference will again include appearances from hit songwriters and music industry executives who will discuss writing, publishing, production and more, Ms Butler said.

Seminars, talks and workshops will be headed by the best in the business and attendees will have the unique opportunity to pitch songs directly to the publishers and get instant feedback and also get the chance to work in the on-site studio, she said.

Attendees will perform their original material to the public and the professionals present and will have a chance to win great prizes in an exclusive song contest, whilst networking and connecting with career makers.

According to Ms Butler, pre-registrations from 2016 attendees mean that the event is already 20 per cent booked.
