FR: ASK THE PRO at the Contact Lounge of SONART – the Swiss Music Association

FREE ENTRANCE
Panel discussions primarily have you listening to others’ information, arguments and trains of thought. This spot, however, is reserved for you and your questions. A wide range of experts are on hand to share their expertise with you in the SONART Contact Lounge. So go ahead and ask the professionals!

To reserve your 15-minute one-on-one slot, email info@sonart.swiss

2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.: BOOKING & CONCERT ACQUISITION
With Nick Werren
How do I get more gigs? Why am I not being booked? What is an appropriate fee for my project? How do I get organiser addresses? Why are a good bio and a good photo important?

3:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.: MUSIC & LAW
With Chantal Bolzern
Copyright, artists' rights, international law, contracts with labels, managers, publishers, distributors and promoters. The law is a jungle, and musicians often get lost in it. In this session, you'll get clear and succinct answers to your most pressing questions.

4:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.: MUSIC-BUSINESS-MINDSET
With Marc Bernegger
This session is all about you and your projects. It addresses the most important questions regarding your vision, sharpens your focus and expands your outlook with the help of some fundamental input. Creativity needs structured freedom. In the space of just 15 minutes, Marc will help you to see your structures more clearly.
