On Thursday (June 20), Universal Music Group will launch the Nashville Career Jam, a networking event aimed at manager-level and above in the music industry.
Nashville remains, and will always be, ‘Music City’, with a rich heritage and vibrant culture based on great artists and renowned songwriters – all supported by some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the business.
But it is also a fast-growing, rapidly expanding city, with companies from a wide variety of sectors attracted not just by a unique location but also by a high quality talent pool.
Nashville Career Jam aims to remind all attendees and participants that they are part of the most exciting and dynamic business in the world: music. And to highlight the wealth of options and opportunities there are across the sector.
It will celebrate the range of talents that make up the modern music market, welcoming experts and rising stars in every field from digital marketing and streaming to copyrights and royalties.
Taking place at Marathon Music Works (Clinton Street) and kicking off at 5:30pm, it will be an evening of engaging conversation, insightful panels, food, drink, networking and, of course, most importantly, music.
There will be performances from:
