Each year, IMNZ and The New Zealand Music Comission present Going Global- a Tāmaki Makaurau based conference that brings music industry professionals from around the world to Aotearoa, to connect with NZ musicians. It's a great opportunity for local acts to get a foot in the door with overseas music scenes, and the first collection of panelists for the conference have just been announced. Rosetta caught up with Pippa Ryan-Kidd, chairperson for IMNZ, to talk about the conference. Whakarongo mai nei!
