Can Australian Music Survive in the Age of Spotify?
VMDO Music Data and Insights Summit
The Victorian Music Development Office (VMDO) is running the Music Data and Insights Summit on 28 and 29 May, 2025 and the ALMBC will be attending.
This is a thought-provoking and illuminating catalyst for new ideas that aim to inspire and inform our Victorian music professionals.
The summit will bring together local and international industry representatives and researchers to unpack recent trends, studies and best practice.
Speakers include UK-based music data strategist Chris Carey, RMIT University academic Associate Professor Catherine Strong and Ben Green from the Music Industry Research Collective (MIRC), with more to be announced.
During the summit, Music Australia, in partnership with Untitled Group and The Daily Aus, and in collaboration with The Push, will launch its Listening In: Insights on live music attendance report.
It will offer valuable insights into audience behaviours, preferences and attitudes towards live music in the context of changing social and economic conditions. This report is the first in a three-part research series exploring how Australians discover, experience and engage with music.
The VMDO Music Data and Insights Summit is supported by Music Australia and the Music Industry Research Collective.
