More About the Event
Dubbed the “indie discovery festival” by Billboard Magazine, Springboard Music Festival & Conference is designed to help independent artists get to the next level with the help of famous artists, songwriters, producers, managers, labels, music supervisors, publishers, and others.
Artists receive two full days of education and training during our Band Bootcamp in sunny San Diego. This includes panels, workshops, one-on-one networking, and our “Moment of Truth” direct pitch sessions to professional music supervisors for film & TV placements. All of this comes from the generosity and courtesy of some of the music industry’s most influential and powerful people; including those involved in launching and guiding such superstars as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Guns N’ Roses.
On day three, the festival closes out by partnering with the community to showcase all performing artists bands on three stages for it Springboard West. Artists take what they’ve learned and deliver the performance of their careers, all while attendees go from venue to venue discovering new music.
All proceeds benefit non-profit conference partners.
