After the introductions and a few sessions, there is a 40-minute break to allow for networking, as well as two hours at the end of the program. Light bites and cocktails will be served with live music played by Proppa. The networking time is an excellent opportunity to practice the lessons learned at the sessions while making important connections with experienced industry professionals.
Founded by Olivia Mancuso and Matt Sherman, Chicago Music Nexus isn’t just about opening doors — it’s about blasting right through them en route to building a lasting career. The value of this event is clear, so much so, that tickets are currently sold out. But you may be able to snag a last-minute pass if any get released back to the ticketing pool.
