The Swedes Are Coming – Meet Skiva Promotion

Torsdag d. 7. september flyver vi 15 svenske selskaber sydpå til en hyggelig middag, lidt ny musik og en hel masse networking med deres danske kollegaer. Aftenen vil byde på to korte sets med danske acts, samt god mad og drinks. De svenske gæster er en blanding af festivaler, medier, PR-agenturer, managers, labels, publishers og endda et legendarisk pladestudie. I dagene op til networking-aftenen vil vi kort introducere dig for nogle af de svenske gæster, deres virksomheder, samt nogle af de acts de arbejder med. Her kan du møde Christian Östlund fra Skiva Promotion.
