Australasian World Music Expo
The Australasian World Music Expo (AWME) will take place in Melbourne from 17-20 November, 2011. Now in its fourth year, AWME is the Australia-Pacific region's premier music industry conference and showcase of roots music.
Bringing together musicians, industry representatives and festival audiences from across Australia and around the globe for three days of the finest music from the Australasian region and beyond.
AWME is a unique event which has been described as the South by South West of roots music. By day, AWME is a trade fair which attracts some of the world's most prominent and influential festival bookers, talent agents, record labels and media for workshops, panel discussions and industry networking.
By night, AWME transforms a variety of Melbourne venues into a festival showcase in which delegates and music fans rub shoulders and sample some of the most exciting roots music the planet has to offer. The benefits for showcasing bands are potentially enormous; as a result of performing at AWME, many artists scored enviable performance slots at prestigious European, North American and Asian festivals as well as touring and recording opportunities.
