AAM-JAM 2016 will be Australia's first ever alternative music showcase festival. It will showcase the talent of more than 50 of the country's best artists to a collective audience of national and international record labels, booking agents and industry reps, alongside 3000 music loving attendees.

In addition to the showcases, AAM-JAM will run a number of conferences featuring some of the world's industry game-changers as guest speakers and will discuss issues that developing artists and industry workers in Australia have. The purpose of the conferences is to educate developing artists and industry workers in understanding how the industry operates, so that they can create more potential for success in their careers

AAM-JAM's purpose is to showcase the talent of Australia's alternative music scene to a collaborative audience of music industry workers and music loving Australians. The event will run over two days at the Sydney College of the
Arts venue in which we suspect up to 50 artists will be showcased over 3 stages. During the first half of each day, conferences will be held featuring national and international industry professionals.

Media Assistance
A large number of Australian media companies have stated their interest in supporting the event as co-presenters. We feel that we will be able to access more than 2 million Australians through the reach of such supportive media companies.
