It was an absolute pleasure working with the Sound Diplomacy team to bring the Music Cities Convention to Lafayette, Louisiana. The Music Cities Convention brought world leaders in music and city-planning to Lafayette to share in our music community and lead thought-provoking discussions with our local leaders to push our city forward. Since the convention, we have a music community that is energized to help us in our efforts to further-develop Lafayette as a Music City.

Music Victoria partnered Creative Victoria with Sound Diplomacy to deliver the 2018 Music Cities Convention in April 2018. This was my third convention after presenting at the first in Brighton, UK, in 2014, and then Memphis in 2017. Sound Diplomacy is leading the way in engaging with cities to better understand their music sectors and build the case for increased holistic support from government through evidenced-based research and conventions. I recommend working with them.
