The convention is aimed at musicians, promoters, managers, DJs, producers and anyone aspiring to work in the music industry. The CCMC’s are unique in that they are run by the College’s HND Music & New Media Management students. The purpose of the convention is to give attendees the chance to put questions to panels of music industry professionals, to take part in workshops and masterclasses and the opportunity to network with other young professionals and local industry practitioners.
Panels this year include ‘Advice and Tips for Unsigned Artists’, ‘Legal Panel’ and ‘DJ Masterclass’ on day one and ‘Promoters Forum’, ‘Technology in Music’ and ‘Community Workshop’ on day two. Amongst the many individuals invited every year are 300+ students from the Manchester colleges and universities, the Zion centre, Black Music Academy, Salford University and LIPA. The core target audience is 18-30 year old students studying courses such as Performance Technology, Music Technology, Music & New Media Management and E-Commerce.
