I am pleased to announce that I will be among 10 emerging artists giving Showcase Presentations at this year's Business Skills for Creative Souls Artists' Conference.

With more than 150 participants, speakers and special guests from the Montreal cultural and business milieu annually, the Business Skills for Creative Souls Artists' Conference helps artists develop the business skills they need to succeed, offering brand-new and exciting insights along with network-building opportunities, making it the “go-to” arts conference of the year.

Hosted by YES Montreal, the conference will offer an in-depth look at how artists can develop their marketing skills, see what it takes to build a network of relevant industry connections, and discover the best techniques to gain access to arts funding.

This year’s conference will feature an impressive line-up of speakers and panellists including: Andy Nulman, co-founder of Just for Laughs, CBC personality Sonali Karnick and more. Showcase presentations will also give participants the opportunity to discover 10 emerging local artists, including myself.

The conference will take place Monday, March 14 at the Rialto Hall in Montreal. For more information and to register, go to: bit.ly/YESArt2016
