KMC is a series of not-for-profit events held every year with the biggest event, 9/17-20, bringing together musicians from all over the world. As a conference shaped to work in the unique culture that is Japan, KMC is designed for globally minded musicians, companies and organizations that are involved in the music industry. Musicians can network with NPO's, international exchange associations, independent labels and distributors, promoters, booking agents and festival organizers among others. As an annual, intercontinental music event, KMC has become a bridge for musicians and the independent music industry in Japan. In 2009, the first ever KMC brought together musicians from 13 countries on 4 continents for 2 days and nights of music in downtown Osaka. This year we are looking to build on that to create a stronger music scene in Japan for indie artists. Check here for a list of the KMC 2010 showcase artists: http://www.kansaimusicconference.com/
