Managers and self-managing artists, from highly-experienced to those beginning their careers, can attend this event to network, discuss current topics of importance affecting their businesses and careers, and engage with managers from around the globe. "Meet the Managers" is a must for all music managers from around the world attending SXSW. Now in its 29th year, the Music Managers Forum-US (MMF-US) is the trade association for music managers in the US, and a part of the International Music Managers Forum (IMMF) global network. Board members of the MMF-US have hosted "Meet the Managers" for several years and are presenting this well-attended and crucial meet up once again for providing platform for managers to meet and learn from each other.
