The Dewey Beach Music Conference and Festival Mentoring Sessions offer unique networking opportunities. All showcase performers and registrants can sign up for 20 minute sessions with a select group of music industry professionals. Meet one-on-one with someone who can help your act chart a course for success. Get the information and contacts you can use to advance your career. Your session also includes demo listening and critique.
