Two Sessions at BreakOut West 2024
BreakOut West 2024 takes place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the first time ever! This year's event will feature four days of informative and engaging music industry conference content including international market deep dives, one-on-one meetings with music industry professionals, artist mentorship and feature conversations, networking events, and more. We wanted to give you a sneak peek at two sessions we are excited about at BreakOut West!
BreakOut West Book Club
Enjou and Misfit Management are graciously letting BreakOut West play host to the upcoming round of their Music Book Club, and you are invited to participate!
The book is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. A dedicated and lifelong creative, Gilbert shares her experiences and insights on nurturing creativity, overcoming challenges, and finding inspiration. She talks about her early days of learning to tap into her creativity and her journey towards becoming a successful writer. Gilbert also details the struggles of maintaining creativity after achieving significant commercial success with "Eat, Pray, Love". Her story resonates with creatives of all kinds. "Big Magic" comes highly recommended for anyone looking to explore their own creativity.
We suggest you pick up a copy of the book, your local library is a great resource for this, or try a local bookstore if there are no copies available (it’s a popular book). If you would rather listen to an audiobook version, that would be great, too! Even if you don’t finish the book, you are still welcome to attend and participate.

Producer's Listening and Feedforward Session
Send us your songs! Producers of all skill levels are welcomed and encouraged to put forward the fruits of their creative labour to be absolutely loved and supported by their peers. This is a positive-feedback only zone, no need to be constructive; kick that imposter syndrome, if your track is selected, it’s good! Producers who submit will have an opportunity to share a bit about themselves, their song, and then have an opportunity to be encouraged, adored, and supported by a panel of their peers, who just so happen to be the purveyors of the Good + Plenty Producer’s Club. The event is open to non-submitters as well, just sit back, relax, and listen deeply to the songs. Listeners will have an opportunity to chime in as well, but just a reminder, good vibes only! This is an awesome opportunity to grow your community of encouraging producers, show your work in a non-judgmental space, and be creatively inspired—maybe you’ll even find someone new you want to collaborate with!
Submit your song for the session!
This is just a quick snippet of the programming at BreakOut West 2024. A conference badge gets you access to these sessions and many more as well as 1x1 meetings with industry professions, intimate industry meet-ups, countless networking opportunities, and a festival wristband to see 55+ artists from western Canada and around the world. Come join us in Saskatoon!
