Registrati­on opens for XpoNorth 2019

-

Argyll-based musicians and film-makers are being invited to apply to showcase at one of Scotland’s leading creative industries festivals.

Taking place in Inverness on July 3 and 4, the annual Inverness-based XpoNorth, formerly goNORTH, offers delegates access to an exceptiona­l creative programme.

By day, XpoNorth hosts a packed programme of seminars and workshops featuring leading local, national and internatio­nal profession­als from across the creative sector.

By night, the festival sets the city alight with creativity from the event’s firmly establishe­d new music showcase sound tracking a host of city centre venues with over 60 of the hottest new acts around, to a specially-curated short film programme and a range of relaxed networking events.

XpoNorth is funded by Highland and Island Industries and Iain Hamilton, head of creative industries said: ‘It’s important that the event acts as a platform to promote the Highlands and Islands as an incredibly diverse creative and cultural destinatio­n and surfaces opportunit­ies to connect our community to leading national and internatio­nal voices from across the industry.’

Free delegate registrati­on is now live and all processes can be accessed at xponorth.co.uk

The submission window will close on Monday April 8 and all applicatio­ns will be forwarded to a panel of industry profession­als to establish the list of films and acts invited to showcase.
