How do I become a member of the MMF?

Go to the MMF website, click on 'Join MMF' and follow the instructions.

Once I am a member, what sort of benefits would I receive?

Benefits for an MMF member include online resources and downloadable contract templates, free entry into most MMF events and training seminars, the one-on-one mentoring programme, entry fee discounts for selected music conferences, invitations to industry networking and music events, and a weekly newsletter with music industry and member news.

Are Mentors available to members?

One of our most popular benefits is the valuable one-on-one Mentoring Programme, where you can book in a series of one hour confidential sessions with any of our mentors.

Our mentors come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We have experienced music managers, touring experts, producers, publicists and social media, who all offer their time and expertise to MMF members. The advice these mentors offer in the early stages of a project can be invaluable.

Do you have awards for the best Music Managers in New Zealand?

We hold the annual Music Managers Awards during May Music Month. The Music Managers Awards celebrates all the hard work the music managers put in behind the scenes. The awards are one of the MMF's flagship events.

Can a self managed artist become a member?

Yes, we have a large number of self managed artists who are solo artists or members of a band.

How do I get to meet other artist managers?

By attending our seminars, which are a fantastic opportunity to mingle with like minded people.

Do you have regular seminars?

Throughout the year we hold a range of seminars including Back to Basics for our new members, Speed Networking Sessions (past sessions include Radio Programmers, Festival Bookers and Orientation Bookers) as well as the annual Music Month Summit.

Do I get to talk to other successful music managers?

Yes, you can book a one-on-one mentoring session with a range of experienced and successful managers.

As a New Zealand member, are you able to link in with other Music Manager Forum groups internationally?
