Justin McKenzie (Jazz Refreshed): Mentor

Mar 16, 2019

2:00pm – 3:15pm CT

Advance RSVP is available to Primary Entry badge types only. Walk-ups may be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Mentor Sessions offer 15 minutes of one-on-one interaction with industry leaders and professionals from a variety of fields spanning interactive, film, and music.

Meeting with this mentor is highly recommended if you're interested in marketing/PR, live events, and brand development.

Justin Mckenzie is Creative Director and Co-founder of Music & Arts organisation Jazz re:freshed. Whilst developing a career in Art & Design, Justin co-founded record label and events unit Uprock Recordings, which organically led to the creation of the Jazz re:freshed movement in 2003. An Illustrator/Graphic Artist by trade, it was inevitable that given the creative energy in Jazz re:freshed, Justin would make certain that art and visuality would be central to its philosophy and identity.

You can see Justin’s full bio on his speaker page.

Registrants who sign up online must check-in 30 minutes before their mentor time slot to guarantee their spot. Limited on-site sign up is also available for a small number of Mentor Sessions spots and will begin 30 minutes before the first time slot of each session.
