"Snack Chat" is a “speed networking” InfoFest for students! Take this opportunity to sit and talk with key members of the music business and personally ask the questions you've wanted to know. Over a half dozen music executives from various parts of the Industry will be available in a small table environment, allowing for time to answer your questions, give advice, and help you put a name with a face as you build your own networking deck.


Pull up a chair and spend time learning from professionals who are doing what you're interested in – including representatives from Music Marketing, Music Publishing, Music Publicity, Music Tech, and a Music Agent! Then, hang around afterwards for some snacks, and chat more during the casual networking group time.
