Hard Working Class Heroes are delighted to announce details of HWCH Convention 2016 which will take place at the Chocolate Factory, Kings Inn Street, Dublin on October 6th, 7th and 8th.

Admission to all convention events is FREE.

HWCH Convention 2016 is Ireland’s music convention, the biggest gathering of Irish and international music makers and doers in the country this year, with 1,300 speed sessions and 22 workshops and conversations facilitating exchanges between artists and the music business.

HWCH Convention 2016 will have two tracks. The first will focus on discussions and conversations around such issues as changes in the industry, how artists and businesses are adapting to the new environment and, what has become a key and unique theme of late at the convention, what fans make of all this. The second track is three days of how-to workshops covering digital, social media, videos, visuals and much more.

International delegates at HWCH Convention 2016 include bookers, agents, press and radio from the US, UK and Europe who’ll join a huge number of Irish music industry professionals in discussions, debates and conversations over the weekend.
