ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Indie Week has existed for 18 years and successfully produced a 5-day conference
with resounding positive feedback.
“I had an absolute blast, and it really felt like I was attending a conference all week,
it was great…that was the best virtual conference I’ve attended.”
Dave Cool
(Bandzoogle)
“I’ve been involved in quite a few “online” conferences this year, most of them disappointing
to say the least. Then there is Indie Week. Probably the most organized and
professional event I’ve seen so far this year.”
Bob Bender
(The Business Side of Music)
“I always professionally and personally enjoy and applaud Indie Week for its
excellent work in the creative music sector.”
Ron Proulx
