Music, creativity and learning are set to converge in Parramatta as part of conference that aims to stimulate the night-time economy of Greater Sydney.
Part of a wider festival of music, creativity and learning centreing on Parramatta, the Sound West Conference at CommBank Stadium on Thursday 25th August will connect technology brands with artists, musicians and promoters, with the potential to engage the creative arts and entertainment spheres in Western Sydney and across Australia.

The conference also includes workshops and sessions with Triple J Unearthed and a Music NSW First Nations Meet Up, as well as workshops on TikTok content creation and creating safe spaces.
Running from 20th to 28th August, the wider Sound West program will feature more than 15 live music events and programs (a mix of industry and general public events) across various venues headlined by rising rapper Masked Wolf; hip-hop artist and producer L-Fresh the Lion; musician, singer, songwriter and rapper A.Girl; and musician, poet and rapper Nardean; as well as songwriters Khaled Rohaim and Styalz Fuego.
