The AWMA Conference is a dynamic thought leadership platform built to share insights and ideas to provoke new ways of thinking. The event highlights diverse experiences and perspectives to amplify the voices of First Nations women, female and gender diverse individuals across all areas of the Australian music industry. This year’s In Conversation will be delivered by Brittany Long, a live music and entertainment photographer on wheels, known for capturing the unfiltered atmosphere and emotion of live performance. Now in its sixth year, the AWMA 2025 Conference Program includes a powerful series of forums, conversations and themes exploring remote First Nations women’s perspectives, youth engagement, accessibility, music technology, leadership and legacy.
