This female-led initiative aims to create a dynamic platform for dialogue among artists, executives, technologists, and cultural workers, bridging the gap between local and international entities.

“ARMC continues to be about building real pathways between artists, executives, markets, and ideas,” states Sarah Jane Nicholson, the Founder and Conference Director of ARMC. “Announcing our first speakers and genre spotlights sets the tone for a programme rooted in collaboration, cultural relevance, and long-term industry impact. We're excited to reveal much more in the months ahead.”
