In this panel co-presented by Parallel Music Conference and the Music Managers Forum (MMF), we offer an honest and inspiring look into one of the most dynamic roles in the music industry today.

Aimed at emerging creatives curious about a career in management, and artists wanting to know what to look out for in a manager, this panel will unpack what it really takes to guide an artist in a fast-moving, digital-first landscape. From building teams and shaping long-term careers to navigating streaming, social media, brand partnerships, heavy touring and the pressures of an always-on industry, speakers will share both the opportunities and the realities of the role. Expect candid insights, practical advice, and a forward-looking perspective on how artist managers can adapt, innovate, and thrive in the years ahead.
