Event information
Music Week is a new four-day platform launched by FAME Week Africa that consolidates three music industry gatherings under a single delegate ticket. The programme runs across two Cape Town venues, the CTICC and the Protea Hotel Fire and Ice, and is designed for music professionals across all sectors: artists, managers, producers, publishers, label representatives, rights holders, educators, brands, and creators.
The week opens on 28 October with Muziki Africa, a conference dedicated to the business of African music, covering rights management, artificial intelligence, artist development, publishing, live events, monetisation, and the international growth of African sound.
From 29 to 30 October, the inaugural Pretty Loud Summit focuses on women in music, bringing together artists, songwriters, DJs, producers, managers, publishers, and executives for two days of conversation, mentorship, and industry networking.
The week concludes on 31 October with Music Exchange (MEX26), now in its 16th year and described as South Africa's only entertainment-economy-focused industry conference. MEX26 covers innovation, sustainability, rights, entrepreneurship, and business development for music and creative economy professionals.
