The official 2017 Music Month Summit returns with a new format and a new venue.

This year the event will be held at Auckland Museum‘s auditorium on Saturday, May 20.

Themed around a passion for music, 15 guests from all corners of the music industry will be sharing their stories about how music has inspired or changed their lives. According to the organisers, this is not about covering off a list of topics, but the rare opportunity to listen to people who are truly passionate about an aspect of music or their involvement in the Music Industry.  Presented in blocks of four speakers, there will be a Q & A session after each block.

Tickets for the summit are free but must be reserved here.
