Moshito is trying to establish itself as a core feature in up and coming music producers calendars. The conference provides musicians and producers with an opportunity to network, exhachange music and ideas and catch up on SA music news.

This year the conference will dedicate the last day to unsinged artists:

'This is an opportunity for unsigned and emerging artists to showcase their music to industry professionals. Artists who register and submit their demo CD's will have their track played at dedicated sessions covering various music genres. Participants should come prepared to engage with the panel of industry experts about their creative work.'
