Creating the content for over 60 panel sessions and interviews at BBC Music Introducing's Amplify event. Over the course of 3 days there were panel sessions on how to get into the music industry. These offered an insight on key elements to consider in the music industry. As well as this there were headline talks from some of the biggest artists around. These offered exclusive guidance to up-and-coming artists - with acts interviewed by BBC DJ's on how they made their break, and what they’ve learned over the years being successful musicians.Each session was 45 minutes long, with each one covering a specific topic. Panellists from the top of their field answered questions put to them by a chair, in the hope of informing the audience on how to do it. Topics included; how to get written about as a new unsigned artist, how to be good on social media, how to get a manager, how to set up a label, how to self release your music, how to get you music out there as a bedroom DJ. All topics of panels aimed at a young audience looking to be a musician, be a manager, be a label manager, etc.The event was aimed at a young audience looking to get into music, and had all of the leading figures in the industry there to pass on their knowledge. Chris Price, head of R1 Music, Mike Smith, Head of Warner, Jamie Cullum, Melanie C, Blossoms, Annie Mac. I produced all the content for every session, and leading up to the event was the person panellist were contacting for a heads up on the line of questioning, and themes for the panel they were on. I was also in contact with all the presenters to make sure they were happy with the path the panel would take.

When Peter White is presenting his scripts have to be brailed because he is blind; there are on average 7 scripts per show. During the show being across guests; making sure they are in the building and in the studio when they are needed, chasing up lines and guests that are not up/arrived yet. Keeping across timings for each item; this is very important as the show has a strict in and out time. Keeping the producer informed of where we are at time wise is the main responsibility during the live show. After the show I complete a detailed running order of the show in proteus, pay guests and add new contacts to the address book. I also help with research for future items.
