About FastForward

FastForward 2016 is a brand new event for the music business calendar, providing a platform that exists to connect, engage, and inspire ambitious under 35 year-olds working in the music business all over the world, laying the foundation for a sustainable career in the modern music industry.

While FastForward is aimed at under 35s, there are no strict rules as to who can attend. By limiting the attendance numbers to 120, this event will allow for deeper networking. It’s not about revenue – it’s about meaningful discussion. Those establishing themselves in the industry who want to expand their network, rather than those who are fully established already, will find it most valuable.

The lineup of speakers at FastForward hail from some of the world’s largest, growing, and emerging markets including South Africa, The Netherlands, the UK, the US, Australia, France and Spain, bringing with them international perspectives, experiences and views.

FastForward will encourage much-needed free thinking and a free flow of new ideas to move our industry forward. It presents an opportunity for people to come together at the formative stages of their careers, engage with keynote presentations, panels, seminars, and networking opportunities, to get a rounded view of the music business.
