First Nations women, culturally-diverse voices and amplifying regional & remote representation. Australian Women

The AWMA Conference is a dynamic thought leadership platform built to share insights and ideas to provoke new

ways of thinking. The event highlights diverse experiences and perspectives to amplify the voices of First Nations

women, female and gender diverse individuals across all areas of the Australian music industry. This year’s ‘In

Conversation’ will be delivered by Brittany Long, a live music and entertainment photographer on wheels, known for

capturing the unfiltered atmosphere and emotion of live performance. Now in its sixth year, the AWMA 2025

Conference Program includes a powerful series of forums, conversations and themes exploring remote First

Nations women's perspectives, youth engagement, accessibility, music technology, leadership and legacy.

The Australian Women in Music Awards & Conference Program is made possible with support from the

Queensland Government and is assisted by the Australian Government through Music Australia and the Office of

the Arts. AWMA is proudly sponsored by Brisbane City Council, the City of Gold Coast and is supported by

corporate, industry, and community partners
