Conference tickets are available for Full Day, Morning Sessions and Afternoon Sessions.

Australian Women in Music Awards (AWMA) celebrates and recognises the vast achievements and contribution of female and gender diverse artists and music practitioners across all genres of music and all areas of the Australian music industry. 

Featuring performances from some of Australia’s top female artists and musicians, a dynamic thought leadership Conference with unique networking opportunities and the prestigious Awards Ceremony & Concert.  

AWMA shines a spotlight on excellence, creativity and cultural leadership whilst embracing the “too often unseen” artists and creatives working in regional and remote Australia and behind the scenes.
