Estonian Music Week presents:
Nordic Connect Conference (NCC)
A series of events throughout the EMW Festival designed to connect music industry professionals in Canada with Estonia and neighbouring countries.

The goal of NCC is to generate opportunities for festival artists and to facilitate future collaborations between Canada and Nordic and Baltic countries. The very first NCC in 2023 brought together 28 music industry professionals. Two days of programming focused on these professionals began with a welcome dinner presented by the Estonian Embassy in Ottawa. On the following day a networking session, presentations and a CD release took place. Professionals later attended showcases as part of the EMW festival.

NCC 2023 also included programming in Hamilton catering to music enthusiasts and local musicians. This included a workshop on music export to Estonia and a panel discussion between artists working in the diaspora.

The positive response to the first iteration of NCC demonstrated a strong desire for Nordic, Baltic and Canadians to collaborate in the future.

The next NCC will take place in 2025, however EMW/NCC will co-host B2B meetings at Tallinn Music Week 2024.
