Music Australia Research Forum - 12 June
To coincide with the two-year anniversary of the passing of The Creative Australia Act 2023, where Music Australia was born into legislation, Music Australia is holding a special event to launch reports two and three from Listening In, a research series exploring how Australians discover, experience, and engage with music, alongside the unveiling of The Bass Line: An economic analysis of the Australian music industry.
The forum will be split into two sessions: Listening In reports 2 and 3 will be in the morning, while The Bass Line will be in the afternoon. You have the option to attend one, or both sessions. Please register here
The first report was launched last month and you can read it here.
