Connecting artists to purpose, pathway, and industry.

Industry Connect returns in 2026 as a powerful new collaboration between QMusic and the Regional Arts Services Network (RASN), delivering meaningful, on-the-ground support to artists across regional Queensland.

In 2026, Industry Connect will travel to 10 towns across Queensland, delivering a series of intimate, artist-focused sessions. Each stop will combine practical career insights with reflective tools and resources, empowering artists to define their own path in music—on their own terms.

A key feature of this year’s program is the inclusion of sector-specific guest speakers, offering real-world perspectives from across the music industry. From management and touring to recording, marketing, and independent release strategies, participants will gain direct access to knowledge and networks that are often difficult to reach in regional areas.

Industry Connect is not just about how to build a career in music—it’s about understanding why you want to, and creating a sustainable, authentic approach to getting there.

QMUSIC acknowledges the many Traditional Custodian groups all across what is now referred to as Queensland. We pay our respect to all elders: past and present. As a peak body we also acknowledge the important role that music has played and continues to play on these lands since the very first sunrise.
