WHAT MUSIC INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS & ATTENDEES SAY ABOUT OUR EVENTS

For the past 10 years that IMMEDIA! has produced a dozen music industry conferences, hundreds of speakers and thousands of attendees have participated. The comments from industry leaders through to artists show how all levels of the industry benefit by being a part of our events.

"A lot of us at Sony Music have worked with Phil Tripp for many years now. We are pleased to support his conferences for a number of reasons. The main one is that quality forums with real industry players as presenters and panellists are unfortunately a rare commodity in the music industry. Also, Phil likes to challenge the system on many fronts, including having been on the cutting edge of the massive new technology developments that have been affecting the industry for several years now. I believe our executives and staff benefit from substantial events and forums such as IMMEDIA!ıs music industry conference."
--DENIS HANDLIN
Chairman & CEO Sony Music Australia, Chairman of ARIA

"IMMEDIA!ıs conferences have been the most targeted and compelling events for those required to keep up-to-date with not only the latest in technologies, but also the major factors affecting the entertainment industry. They have been unique opportunities to observe commentary and presentations from key influencers representing major corporations through to independent players, and gain access to these people. Informative, entertaining and the best spend youıll make for your career. Beyond bribing your boss. As a corporate sponsor of IMMEDIA for several years, I found our involvement invaluable for exposure and access to the entertainment industry, with returns on our investment well exceeding expectations.
--CAMERON McDONALD STUART

"Having seen these conferences over the years from both sides - as a speaker and an attendee and having organised industry conferences myself ­ I am an enthusiastic supporter of the seminars organised by IMMEDIA!. I can personally attest to the powerful learning tool they present to both industry professionals and newcomers to the music world. Phil Trippıs experience as a moderator and chair keeps the panels productive and meaningful for the wide range of audience interests so thereıs good info available for everyone. In short, donıt miss Œem!"
--BRIAN PEACOCK

I have personally attended the past two IMMEDIA! conferences all the way from Hawaii. The conferences were very informative and a great source of meeting potential customers, business partners and media people in the Australian music industry. Due to the large number of former Pacific Islanders living in Australia, we found the conference a great assistance in expanding the presences of our Hawaiian, Island Reggae and Pacific music there. Would recommend anyone who is in the music industry and/or wanting into learn about the Australian music industry to attend."
--MYLES NOMURA Chief Financial Officer & Controller Olinda Road Distributors, Honolulu, Hawaii

"I totally encourage any contemporary music industry colleagues to attend and or send key staff to IMMEDIA!ıs Music Industry Conferences (whether biannually or annually!). From an information point of view, the panellists and content have been enlightening & cutting edge. From a networking point of view the conferences are essential for new & emerging players to mingle with veterans and get connected. We all go for the same reasons and you have to get on the field asap.

Iıve been invited onto numerous panels over past years & otherwise have attended them individually plus sent my staff along. We all got a lot of value out of going. The minute you think you canıt learn anything new is the same minute you become irrelevant! The TPA staff and I find them re-energising, and we look forward to recharging our batteries this August."
