VMDO Networking Breakfasts are a monthly get-together for Victorian music industry professionals.

Starting in December 2018, these took place at White Sky Hub through to February 2020. The VMDO delivered 12 x in-person Networking Breakfasts, which took place at the White Sky Hub in Collingwood.

Recently, these events have evolved to a virtual format through zoom.us. The first VMDO Virtual Networking Breakfast took place in March 2020 and will continue in this format for the time being.

These events aim to bring together the mid-career through to the established of the Victorian music business community to share ideas, catch up and collaborate.

These networking breakfasts will host a variety of special guests from around the state, country and international music community. Breakfast guests will present on industry trends, analysis, business learnings and opportunities.

Settle in with a cup of coffee or tea and connect with your music community.

Note: VMDO Networking Breakfasts are targeted towards Victorian professionals, currently working in the music industry.
