As part of the SMIA’s innovation-led development programme, designed to help nurture business talent and build infrastructure in Scotland’s music industry, we will be hosting this free entry ‘Introduction to Events Management’ as part of this year’s Question Session at The Lighthouse in Glasgow, taking place on Saturday 8th February 3pm – 5pm.
