What is Your Next Stage?

Your Next Stage is a career day orchestrated by our team of student leaders, whose main goal is to bridge the gap between university students, young professionals and the music industry.

The main objective of this one-of-a-kind event is to provide attendees with an overview of the vast opportunities that lie within the music scene and expose them to trending topics in the music business while connecting them with its greatest minds.

Our first sold-out career day event was made possible through a collaboration with three driven University of Amsterdam students. Together, we hosted 34 industry leaders to partake in insightful panel discussions and a fruitful networking carousel. The overwhelmingly positive response our first edition received set solid grounds for an even bigger and better future.
