'Biggest thank you MMF! It was incredible to be able to sit silently and try to take in everything Lorraine and Teresa touched on today, and very eye opening as to how much there is to learn.

I could write endlessly, but I really liked Lorraine's mindset of setting your benchmark for success and playing the long game, allowing yourself the required time to create and execute a plan, and the comparison to entering a marathon. I also liked your simple tactic of driving in silence to allow thinking time - small steps!'

The Music Managers Forum Aotearoa with support from Recorded Music New Zealand is proud to present the return of the annual Back to Basics seminar in Christchurch on Tuesday March 23rd.
