A FREE SCHOOL FOR ARTISTS
On October 2 & 3 Lisbon will host DIGITAL DESTINY ACADEMY, a free two-day conference to learn, connect, create and move your career forward.
Through talks, workshops, masterclasses and networking, we bring artists and industry professionals together to share real knowledge, open doors and build stronger, more sustainable careers.
From DJing and music production to artist development, cultural programming, booking, management and music rights, the Academy gives artists the tools and knowledge to take ownership of their journey while building stronger, more connected communities.
The Academy has a focus on artists shaping the future of electronic music and nightlife culture.
Alongside the conference, Digital Destiny Academy offers a free three-month online mentorship programme, connecting selected artists with international mentors for direct support in developing a project,
achieving a goal or taking the next step in their career. FLINTA, queer, POC and underrepresented artists are especially encouraged to apply!
