About this Event
Across the globe, municipalities and communities are recognizing music as a valuable economic driver and the importance of supporting and investing in their music ecosystems. As a member of the local music scene, Invest Durham needs to hear from you!
We invite you to Invest Durham's first music industry development event designed to unite the local music community and collectively build on ideas and passions. This is your opportunity to tell us what matters, what works and what does not as we build a strategy to elevate and strengthen the region's music scene.
Make your voice heard and be part of shaping the future of the local music industry by joining Invest Durham and Durham's music stakeholders for a time of making new connections, refreshments, entertainment, motivational speaking, roundtable discussions and Q & A sessions.
Keynote speaker Bob Egan is a seasoned musician, veteran Blue Rodeo band member with 25 years in cover bands, six-time Juno Award winner and Canadian Hall of Fame inductee.
